Alone You Breathe Lyrics
You were never one for waiting, still I always thought you'd wait for me
And have you from your dream awakened, and from where you are what do you see?
Which of us is now in exile, which in need of amnesty?
Are you now but an illusion, in my mind alone you breathe
You believed in things that I will never know
You were out there drowning but it never showed
Til inside a rainswept night you just let go
You've thrown it all away
And now we'll never see
The ending to the play
The grand design
The final line
And what was meant to be
In the dark a distant runner, now has disapeared into the night
Leaving us to stand and wonder, staring from this end into your life
You believed in things that I will never know
You were out there drowning but it never showed
Til inside a rainswept night you just let go
You've thrown it all away
And now we'll never see
The ending to the play
The grand design
The final line
And what was meant to be
And if this is all illusion, nothing more than pure dellusion
Clinging to a fading fantasy
Like Icarus who heeds the calling, of a sun but now is falling
As the feathers of his life fall free
Can you see?
See?
Tomorrow, and after, you tell me what am I to do
I stand here, believing, that in the dark there is a clue
Perhaps inside this midnight sky, perhaps tomorrow's newborn eyes
Or could it be? We'll never know, and after all this was the show
What am I to do?
Gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back
What am I to do?
Gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back
What am I to do?
Standing on a dream, isn't what it seems
Could we then reclaim a dream refused?
Knowing what we know, could we let it go
Realizing that all the years are used?
Tomorrow, and after, you tell me what am I to do
I stand here, believing, that in the dark there is a clue
I am the way, I am the light, I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams, and in the dark I hear your screams
Tomorrow and after, you tell me what I am to do
I stand here, believing, that in the dark there is a clue
And have you from your dream awakened, and from where you are what do you see?
Are you now but an illusion, in my mind alone you breathe
You were out there drowning but it never showed
Til inside a rainswept night you just let go
And now we'll never see
The ending to the play
The grand design
The final line
And what was meant to be
Leaving us to stand and wonder, staring from this end into your life
You were out there drowning but it never showed
Til inside a rainswept night you just let go
And now we'll never see
The ending to the play
The grand design
The final line
And what was meant to be
Clinging to a fading fantasy
Like Icarus who heeds the calling, of a sun but now is falling
As the feathers of his life fall free
Can you see?
See?
I stand here, believing, that in the dark there is a clue
Perhaps inside this midnight sky, perhaps tomorrow's newborn eyes
Or could it be? We'll never know, and after all this was the show
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
Could we then reclaim a dream refused?
Knowing what we know, could we let it go
Realizing that all the years are used?
I stand here, believing, that in the dark there is a clue
I am the way, I am the light, I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams, and in the dark I hear your screams
I stand here, believing, that in the dark there is a clue

this one is obvious to me at least. this song is about the death of criss olivia, the guitartis of savatage who was killed by a drunk driver.
The song is a tribute to Criss, but it's clearly about someone who committed suicide, while Criss died in a car crash.
Actually, the song is in an accusing tone to the subject. I believe it isn't about Criss' accident, because the guy would never accuse him of that; they were best friends, and plus, it would have ended up a TSO piece.
I think this is more of a song yelling at someone for ending their life. Look at the tone, and everything about it. "You threw your life away" "what am I to do?" "Now we'll never see ... what was meant to be."
