Текст песни Spark

For how much longer must I bleed
Into the soil before I see
The one who holds the blade is me.
For how much longer must I stand
In destiny’s uncertain sands
Before I find stability.

One spark among the embers
One voice against surrender.
One dream that’s worth defending
One drought that’s never ending.

Ignore the underlying cause
Among the thousand last hurrahs
Where every promise is a lie.
Externalize the blame for now
Voice of reason disavowed
A slave to all that I decried.

One spark among the embers
One voice against surrender.
One dream that’s worth defending
One drought that’s never ending.

I wear a stranger’s face
Not so different from my own.
But all the steps that I retrace
Left me wounded and alone.

For how much longer must I burn
Until I’m able to discern
The root of all this suffering.
For how much longer must I flee
These harsh responsibilities
For the sinking rock to which I cling.

One spark among the embers
One voice against surrender.
One dream that’s worth defending
One drought that’s never ending.
