Shards of Shattered Dreams Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dead of winter, thunder cracks the sky
A deafening roar
From the oncoming storm
Lightning rips the heavens open wide
New fates are forged
Changing forevermore
Black clouds await bleak futures
Scars tearing at their sutures
Windows they start to crack
Spiders along the glass
The sun fading, drown the world in gray
[Chorus]
It's raining
Shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces
Of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I'm ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams
[Verse 2]
We have nowhere else that we can go
Cast into the gale
Shredded by its hail
Her furies power cuts and binds
Winds of a splintered kind
Echoes of pain confined
Skies shine with stars of David
Glass ceilings on the hated
Storms of a different cloud
Lords of a different shroud
Oh heaven, wash the pain away
[Chorus]
It's raining
Shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces
Of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I'm ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams
[Refrain]
A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams...
Go!
A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams lay broken
A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams lay broken
[Solo: Robb Flynn]
[Bridge]
Dark skies so callous
Glass shards of malice
[Chorus]
It's raining
Shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces
Of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I'm ripping at the seams
[Outro]
These shards of shattered dreams
These shards of shattered dreams
Dead of winter, thunder cracks the sky
A deafening roar
From the oncoming storm
Lightning rips the heavens open wide
New fates are forged
Changing forevermore
Black clouds await bleak futures
Scars tearing at their sutures
Windows they start to crack
Spiders along the glass
The sun fading, drown the world in gray
It's raining
Shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces
Of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I'm ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams
We have nowhere else that we can go
Cast into the gale
Shredded by its hail
Her furies power cuts and binds
Winds of a splintered kind
Echoes of pain confined
Skies shine with stars of David
Glass ceilings on the hated
Storms of a different cloud
Lords of a different shroud
Oh heaven, wash the pain away
It's raining
Shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces
Of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I'm ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams
A thousand cuts of pain
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams...
Go!
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams lay broken
A million drops of rain
And all these shattered dreams lay broken
Dark skies so callous
Glass shards of malice
It's raining
Shards of shattered dreams
This love divine ruins everything
Left to pick up the pieces
Of my dejected heart
I'm breaking and I'm ripping at the seams
These shards of shattered dreams
These shards of shattered dreams

The song is basically about the emotional aftermath of losing everything you once believed in, whether it’s love, purpose, religious beliefs, or self-identity. It’s about owning your failures, accepting the scars they’ve left, and trying to rebuild meaning from the ruins. The title, "Shards of Shattered Dreams,” is a metaphor for standing among the pieces of one’s own past, the shards representing all the ambitions, beliefs, relationships, or ideals that have been destroyed by time. It's about the death of hope, looking back at the beliefs you once held and seeing the dreams that died.
