lyrics

Trembling hands
drew the line
jewel lies broken
in the dust and grime
and history’s tide
oh, it sweeps us aside

A giant falls
two flags rise
million hopes betrayed
a mutiny of sighs
our broken hearts
was freedom’s price

Don’t look back
you won’t like what you see
and life is too short, baby
living on a memory

Under a blood red
moon we ran
crimson tide flooded
the old searing land
our gazes fixed
on the dusty path

From the ramparts
saw a new day
on the riverbanks we
washed our sins away
but the smell of blood
and burning flesh remain

Don’t look back
you won’t like what you see
and life is too short, baby
living on a memory

There is no cure
a rot’s set in
we end up with a
deep hollow within
our long quest
for redemption begins

Burn the embers
of memory
all you’re left with is
bitter history
our past still casts
a long shadow over me

Don’t look back
you won’t like what you see
and life is too short, baby
living on a memory

Don’t look back
you won’t like what you see
and life is too short, baby
living on a memory
living on a memory
living on a memory
