Lyrics: Paul Vuocolo

I stand alone at the foot of this mountain

Want to ascend so that I can see you

And as I stand atop of this mountain

I realize that I’ll never see you

And I know I’m doomed...

To spend a long time in misery

I played the game and lost, oh why me?

(How did I let it inside of me?)

Cracks in the pavement lead hearts astray

Is this for real or is it fantasy?

I ask these questions everyday

To make the pain go away

And I, what a fool I’d been

Don’t think ‘til tragedy

I was a know it all

Yeah, I think I’ll wait it out

But the pain won’t go away

Someone out there please listen to me

It has weaved itself inside of me

(How long will it cling to me?)

Straight ahead now don't look back

Paid no attention to a train far off its tracks

And as for what it is they say

It seems we all have lost our way

Last night I cried myself to sleep

Only to be woken by my dreams

And as I sit upon my grave

I hear the joy, the joy of those of who’ve been saved

I know I was a fool

Never cared to follow you

Now I’m begging you

Can you hear me begging you to give me one more chance?

I know my soul is doomed

Never cared to believe in you

Now my faith has come too late

I have fashioned my own, my own fate
