I traded diamonds for a fist of sand Locked the gate and I let go of your hand The city lights are just a ghost in the rear Silence is the only truth I hear I built a fortress out of broken trust Watch the memories settle into the dust Burn the maps, I don't need a way back home Into the hollow where the cold winds moan I stand alone in the wasteland glare Breathing in the ash and the static air No more games, no more hollow skin Let the desolation settle in A warrior forged in the quiet gloom Walking the edge of a self-made tomb Survival is a rhythm that I keep alone Carving my name in the marrow of bone The sky is bruised and the horizon is gray I'm finding my strength in the disarray You wanted a prisoner to hold too tight I chose the shadows and the endless night No allegiance left to give This is how I choose to live Cut the cord, bleed the vine Now the solitude is mine Mine! I stand alone in the wasteland glare Breathing in the ash and the static air No more games, no more hollow skin Let the desolation settle in A warrior forged in the quiet gloom Walking the edge of a self-made tomb Just a shadow on the plains Nothing left to lose or gain I stand alone I stand alone
