"The Astral Road" lyrics

Down on the barren wasteland
In times where many men have fallen
I'm picking up the pieces
Chasing shadows in a pale gray dawn
Ashes fall
Hiding secrets like before
Snowlike but too imperfect
Leaving countless stains upon the shores

I'm praying for the rain
To take it all away

There's nothing waiting for us now
I'm broken but unashamed
Cracks in the walls ease the night for us all
But we wait and hide from the pain

This world is more than we can take on all alone
Convinced we're glory bound

Lies twist and skew our purpose
I leave them bleeding on the floor
Unpledged to any service
Insurrection, cut away the cords
Deny the fates
That are dancing in the night
We're blind, our eyes unseeing
Diving deeper, hoping to ignite

I'm praying for the rain
To take it all away
Nowhere to be found
This dry, dying ground
Always was our grave

There's nothing waiting for us now
I'm broken but unashamed
Cracks in the walls ease the night for us all
But we wait and hide from the pain

If I could throw the guilt aside
I'd let myself be washed away
From the chains of pride
Into the love that I feel today
Where my will to live is not a lie
When the darkness comes
