I am waiting on a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies are forever lost
Soon to ashes in a flash of light

Miles away from me
Hope is fading soon
Gone forever it's a waste of time
My intentions like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh, if they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I've saved (oh why)
Is thrown away
I am waning like a single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh if they could just show these wounds how to heal
Here I am (oh, why)
My last stand (oh, why)
And I know for all the rising and falling there's nothing to show

Throw me down, throw me down, throw me down...
It's been raining
And now I will pay
Woe has come to me
I am the lightning rod

I am waiting
On a mountaintop
Oh, above me
He will strike me

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh if they could just teach my dark heart to feel

All I am (oh, why)
My last stand (oh, why)
And I know for all the rising and falling there's nothing to show
