Lyrics

tattered wings surround me, embracing memories of what was once
talons try to hold them once again but they slip away

gently over the sea sharpened eyes focus deeply
circling the clouds to make the dive and steal my faith away

my mind is full of fallacies of flying high
sadly searching for home, found my way but you've left no ground to go to

gently over the sea sharpened eyes focus deeply
circling the clouds to make the dive and steal my faith away

I'm lost within the silence
over come by what was once
my life has turned into darkness
can anybody find me
I'm lost with in the silence
and i am gone

now i fly alone, ever watchful of birds of prey
talons no longer hold me, but once again it tell you goodbye
