Still Remains Lyrics - Fates Warning

I had so much to say 

But no words to speak 

The feelings were strong 

But I was only weak 

So there we were again 

Tragic and absurd 

Choking on every line 

And every final word 

A few pages from an old diary 

A dusty shelf, an unread history 

All these words and memories 

Are all of you that's really left for me 

And a fading memory 

Can't cloud the pain 

When the voice is gone 

The words still remains 

And the years that fall away 

Can't stop the rains 

When illusion's gone 

The truth still remains 

A few lines from life's long soliloquy 

A dying voice in one part harmony 

All these words and memories 

Are all of you that's really left for me 

And a fading memory 

Can't cloud the pain 

When the voice is gone 

The words still remains 

And the years that fall away 

Can't stop the rains 

When illusion's gone 

The truth still remains 

A final moment of clarity 

A touch, a look, a last apology 

All these words and memories 

Are all of you that's left for me 

And a fading memory 

Can't cloud the pain 

When the voice is gone 

The words still remains 

And the years that fall away 

Can't stop the rains 

When illusion's gone 

The truth still remains 

Where is the way 

where is direction 

the ever open arms 

of over protection 

Where is the hope 

where is laughter 

the wild winter dreams 

of happy ever after 

Deep in the night 

Underneath the darkest skies 

Searching for some sign or some distant light 

Searching yet unheard 

Repeating every line 

And every final word 

They remain, they remain 

You still remain 

All these words and memories 

And everything you were to me 

They remain, they remain 

You still remain 

And here I am again 

Tragic and absurd 

Repeating every line 

And every final word
