Who the heck wrote the lyrics on this site?! It’s nothing like “Awash” and “Insanity”! Let me write the corrected lyrics from the CD (Album) and then I’ll give the meaning. You must take note that this song is the prologue to ‘Trail of Broken Hearts’.

Lyrics:

Silent screams and shattered dreams Of what we left at Seventeen Still lost within the misery And pain that lies inside Here alone the fight to breathe Still searching for the truth to be Blackened by the burning fire Held deep inside my mind

Far beyond the lost Horizon Standing on the shore Across the seas their hearts will bleed This life we’re waiting for Taste the steel in pain You kneel for glory we defend Our fallen souls will rise to fight again

Stay here with me This night we’ll be together Future in our hands We’ll fight with freedom drawing near Stand here with me For we will live forever Tonight we stand and face it all

(Chorus)

Falling rain will hide the pain That lies beneath the burning flames All hope is gone So carry on before the world will fall Rise again to die in vain Now life can never be the same Our own salvation drawing nearer Hear the darkness call

(Verse)

(Chorus)

Now the meaning...

First and foremost, this is the sister song (prologue song) to ‘Trail of Broken Hearts’. It’s a song about remembering and contemplating the resume of a previous relationship. In this case, one in which the protagonist had at Seventeen years of age. (That’s why I corrected the lyrics, because that age is a fundamental part of the song and its meaning.)

Eventually, the significant other feels the same way and addresses this to the protagonist. He/she then goes on to explain how they have felt about him/her up until that point. The protagonist is breaking down (physically and mentally) with the heartbreak of being alone and living with the stress of others.

Finally, the protagonist explains how they will work together to fight for what they want in life; and stop at nothing in the process! These prominent lyrics are backed up in the epilogue song ‘Trail of Broken Hearts’ because in that song, it becomes more of a ‘we’ song. Meaning that they have fought their way through things together (good and bad) and they can finally let the ‘broken’ past fade away as a distant memory!

Note: this is not a song entirely about sex. It may have references that COULD be appertained to sex, but nothing more.

Song Meaning

@StrikingMagic77 Unfortunately, the song has the copyrights applied to it, meaning that to make any changes to the song, it has to get approval, and unless the lyrics are flat-out wrong (Like, horrendously wrong) it won't get changed.
