Chorus
Main Riff
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
Thrown away - oh
I am waiting
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 - Throw me down
And now I will pay - Throw me down
Woe has come to me - Throw me down
I am the lightning rod - Throw me down
I am waiting - Throw me down
On a mountaintop - Throw me down
Oh above me - Throw me down
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
