My Quake

High above me
Where the stars had vanished
Where the moon and sun could have been
Lies a blank and hollow sky
That conceals a world in which I’ll never ever fly

Well, I’d like to be
And I’d love to have
But it always slips away
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Dies when I look upward
To find my way

God has tumbled from his throne
His fall had cut me to the bone
My home is dead, my life is gone
The end is closer than it seems
Its breath destroys my sweetest dreams
My inhales choke where it begins

How could I?
I’d never ever play his part
How can I
Trespass His laws that hold my heart?
I obey, but my obedience wouldn’t take
The plague away and stop the quake

Why had you left me here alone?
You didn’t tell where I went wrong
I feel misled, I feel like I’m undone

I don’t deserve this annihilation
I still believe in you
But did you ever believe in me?

Deep inside me
Where my hopes are buried
Where my beliefs and dreams could have been
My frights and fears destroy my free will
And turn me into what I was not supposed to be

I always loved to be
And I liked to have
All that I let slip away
All I ever breathed for
All I ever lived for
Never could depend on
Anyone but me

There’s something that I can’t deny
My past life seems to be a lie
But I don’t want to feel like I’m condemned to die
My trampled world lies at my feet
Illusions now are obsolete
My present isn’t my defeat

There’s no one
There’s no one else to do this part
There cannot be
There is no cage to hold my heart
I won’t let my heavens slip away from me
My moon and stars won’t fade away

And even though I’m all alone
I’ll battle for my only sun
Its light will fill the skies even when I’m gone

I wasn’t born for annihilation
This is not the end
Because my world belongs to me

I am still alive
Cuz I have something to fight for
My future that I’ll derive
Starts with my dreams that I confide
I am still alive
Cuz I have something to fight for
My future that I’ll derive
Starts with my dreams that I confide
