[Verse 1]
I just tried to take the path that led me to be free, and ended in this bind
The past, is what it's called
Filth, is what it is
That's the walls of the cell

[Refrain]
Fades away
Fades away like footsteps on the shoreline
Why, they try to bring me down
Sky should be high
Backflow

[Verse 2]
Here we go again, contradiction
Should I stay or should I die
Tried to pave a path, dug a huge hole
Had no clue that was my grave

[Refrain]
Fades away
Hands and feet are bound, can't even see
Why, they try to bring me down
Sky should be high
Backflow
Backflow
Backflow
[Verse 3]
As dark shades are made by the sun
Backflow
Good booze is making it just worse
Backflow
The more words, the less I get
This world is built in brimstone

[Bridge]
Can't you see
The innocent may find the way
Wise men lose track of the single path
No one knows tomorrow

[Refrain]
I'll never ever kneel down
Stairway
Jaded town of god, what the heck
Stay away, not going there
Sky should be high
Oh, fades away
Fades away like footsteps on the shoreline
(Yeah) Fades away, just one moment left
Sky should be high
Backflow
