From yesterday to ashes

We walked throughstony paths to avoid this crystal drought of doom
But without taking one single look around we crashed right back in
An episode of life can be recounted in a few trite words
But the reverberations that remain will last from days to years
Daring not to chase all these hours of unique ecstasy
'Cause elapsed moments can't be repeated, once gone they're lost

I sing the word hope in inscrutable notes
The same with certainty, I write it in illegible letters
We were the young furious, restless and uncompromising
These songs of love and tragedy carried us thorugh sleepless nights

This is the time when all I was convinced of gains a new meaning
An unknown awareness, a secret life of words
You may say my eyes are empty and my skin is so withered
But unlike a candle my life burns from both ends!

This is my answer to a question that was never set
This is my anthem, this is my ode to youth
This is my answer to a question that was never set
This is my confession, this is my ode to youth
