Rest Among Ruins - Before You Speak lyrics

With these stones that have held me here, captive Lying now in ruins A cascade of memories surrounds me and now I leave the chains behind me Remembrance is never the same when we remove ourselves When we're removed from the shame Before you say anything give me this time To find the life that was caught in endless night Before we speak let me please see clearly And through the ashes I will awake The regrets that have held me here, captive Are now understood as a mark of my humanity And a sign to leave the chains behind Before you say anything Before you say anything give me this time To find the life that was caught in endless night Before we speak let me please see clearly And through the ashes I will awake Don't worry this will all be over shortly Before you say anything Before you say anything give me this time To find the life that was caught in endless night Before we speak let me please see clearly And through the ashes I will awake
