Another song is just another stain
Tolerance dead, compassion all but slain
Bearing the scars of what I've done before
No looking back; slammed shut and locked the door
Smiles mean nothing in a world of lies
Peel back the mask and see my shattered eyes
Forget the past; the battles have been fought
Still new frontiers are always being sought
(Chorus)
My heart has turned to stone
Nothing but flesh and bone
Old paths nowhere to turn
No bridges left to burn
With all the stories told
A new chapter unfolds
When all the light has gone
No sun; dark after dawn
Broken trust; on nothing can I depend
Abandoned soul; no one to call my friend
Always in search, tired of asking how
Witness the birth of a new creed and vow
(Chorus 2)
My heart has turned to stone
Nothing but flesh and bone
Old paths nowhere to turn
No bridges left to burn
With all the stories told
A new chapter unfolds
When all the light has gone
No sun; dark after dawn
(Breakdown) Ahhhh!
(Guitar solo)
(Chorus melody)
(Chorus Outro)
My heart has turned to stone
Nothing but flesh and bone
Old paths nowhere to turn
No bridges left to burn
With all the stories told
A new chapter unfolds
Now all the light has gone
No sun; dark after dawn
