Kamelot - Ashes to Ashes lyrics

Ravished from our paradise A crack in the mirror I know who's to blame So full of life but paralysed Etched on my iris, but I try not to think of it all We swore to god in veritas and burned our skin like it burned our souls One dealt with grief by causing pain she hid behind maple and built her own fortress of sound Hear this melody almost forgotten (Hush) I've been waiting a lifetime to show you You're returning to heaven like dust to dust I've been waiting forever to witness your fading Like ashes to ashes Forbidden dance on fragile skin Why do you shine as I suffer in pain The greatest scars remain within Leaving you now with a heart black as cardinal sin Fear this melody almost forgotten I've been waiting a lifetime to show you You're returning to heaven like dust to dust I've been waiting forever to witness your fading Like ashes to ashes Hate...My solution...(Been waiting a lifetime to show you) Fate...An illusion...(Been waiting too long) I've been waiting a lifetime to show you You're returning to heaven like dust to dust Been waiting forever to witness your fading Like ashes to ashes
