In his wake he leaves scorched earth and work in vain; smoke drifts up behind him - he is free again, free to run before the onslaught of a deadly foe, leaving nothing fit for pillage, hardly leaving home. It's far too late to turn, unless it's to stone. Charging madly forward, tracks across the snow, wind screams madness to him, ever on he goes leaving spoor to mark his passage, trace his weary climb. Cross the moor and make the headland - stumbling, wayward, blind. In the end his footprints extend as one single line. This latest exponent of heresy is goaded into an attack, persuaded to charge at his enemy. Too late, he knows it is, too late know to turn back, too soon by far to falter. The past sits uneasily at his rear, he's walking right into the trap; surrounded, but striving through will and fear. Ahead of him he knows there waits an ambuscade but the dice slips through his fingers and he's living from day to day, carrying his world around upon his back, leaving nothing behind but the tell-tale of his track. He will not be hostage, he will not be slave, no snare of past can trap him, though the future may. Still he runs and burns behind him in advanced retreat; still his life remains unfettered - he denies defeat. It's far too late to turn, unless it's to stone, Leave the past to burn - at least that's been his own. Scorched earth, that's all that's left when he's done; holding nothing but beholden to no-one, claiming nothing, out of no false pride, he survived. Snow tracks are all that's left to be seen of a man who entered the course of a dream, claiming nothing but the life he's known - this, at least, has been his own Related Lyrics Random lyrics: The Siren Song, The Sleepwalkers, The Sphinx In The Face, The Undercover Man, The Wave, Urban, Whatever Would Robert Have Said?, When She Comes, White Hammer, Wondering, Alle Duizend Redenen, Alles Of Niets, De Keuzes Die Je Maakt, De Stilte Valt Zo Hard, De Zon Achterna, Dromendief, Een Keer Alles, Een Licht Dat Schijnt in De Morgen, Er Zit Iets in De Weg, Film Van 1 Seconde, Half Zeven, Half Zeven (630 830 1000), Het Gaat Voorbij, Het Nieuwe Spel, Laat Het Los, Meer Dan Een Ander, Mijn Held Zijn, Pijn, Stap Voor Stap, Stil In Mij, Stip Aan De Hemel, Twee Soorten Sneeuw, Voel Dat Ik Leef, Volle Maan, Werk Het in De Hand, Zenderruis and Testbeeld, Zenderruis Testbeeld, Zoet Zacht, Zonder Haar, 5150, A Apolitical Blues, A.F.U.
