Fighting to control my mind   But tragedy is all I find!       The panic builds up from deep within the subconcious mind   Always thought that the pain would end with the passage of time   no matter how many layers deep you try to hide yourself   They will all crack and peel away to reveal something else.      From the past we must break free   Come to terms with all that tortures me      Tragic memories invade   Let the storm winds wash them all away      I will be the only one who is left to decide   There will be no more that is left for compromise   Break away from the curse of man's original sin   turn away as you stay hidden behind a twisted grin      From the past we must break free   Come to terms with all that tortures me      Tragic memories invade   Let the storm winds wash them all away      Purified I stand before the flames   As the ashes cover yesterday      Imprisioned by the actions of the past   No use holding on
