Haunted Memories Of A Former Hero

It’s Just The Same Old Darkness That Casts A Shadow Over This Old Town
These Streets Are Cold And Empty And There’s Nothing To Be Found
The Dreams We Had As Children Slowly Turn To Rust
The Places We Once Spent Our Youth Have Now Bitten The Dust
Familiar Echoes Down The Street Of Children Having Fun
Are Replaced By An Eerie Silence That Fades Just Like The Setting Sun
---
Leaves Fall From The Old Oak Tree’s And They Scatter In The Wind
Raindrops Hit Your Window Pane Like Tears That Fall Perfectly Still
Your Nights Alone By Candlelight Remind You Of Your Past
They Remind You Of People You Once Knew, Relationships That Never Last
If You Knew Then What You Know Now Then Your Feelings Would Be Easier To Show
But Hindsight Haunts Us All Someday Like The Memories Of The People You Used To Know
---
The Sun It Never Rises In This Old Town Anymore
It’s Replaced By Haunted Memories Of Your Youth And Nothing More
Everything That You Once Knew And Everything That Made You Feel Safe
Have Gone Away Like Pictures Burnt, Like Old Friends, Like Former Sins
Just Blowing Away Like Those Green Leaves Scattering In The Wind
---
Everyone You Used To Know Has Slowly Gone Away
Their Promises Of Growing Old Together Have Faded Like The Day
Over Time Ties Will Be Broken Just Like Those Words That Once Were Spoken
But When The Answers Are So Hard To Find, You Can Search Your Heart And Search Your Mind
But The Only Thing That Seems So Clear, Is That You’re On Your Own And No One Is Near
---
The River Shimmers In The Winter Breeze And The Wind Whistle’s Loudly Too
You Start To Wonder What Your Still Doing In This Lonely World
Why Your Still Alive When This Pain And Regret Slowly Haunts You
You Wonder If It’s Repentance That Keeps You Here
And That You Can Someday Feel Remorse From You Former Sin
But Then It Soon Becomes Clear
This Is Your Very Own Hell That Your Living In
---
Well The Sun It Never Rises In This Old Town Anymore
It’s Replaced By Haunted Memories Of Your Youth And Nothing More
They Say Your Hometown Is The Place Where Everything Is Better And Everything Is Safe
But My Hometown Is Just Like Me, A Vision That I’m Too Scared To See
Everything I Dreamed Of Has Turned To Memories And Dust
And The Heart That I Used To Own Is Crumbling Like Rust
