Story behind the song
This song is a narrative about a composite character, based on many people who have started out under very bad, or even horrible, circumstances and risen above those beginnings to live happy and productive lives.
Lyrics
The path of my digression lies deep within my past The roots of my potential severed by paternal axe Torn from someone I’ve always felt but never known A tormented soul trapped in a case of flesh and bone To live – I must die to myself Put behind – the things of that world New birth from the ashes of my life To live I must separate from myself Molded and pre-defined – never allowed to be pure Painted on my innocence is the blood of all your failure Every hope and dream crushed under your fist of hate Beneath the broken bones lies the soul you couldn’t break To live – I must die to myself Put behind – the things of that world New birth from the ashes of my life To live I must separate from my…self A new hope A new beginning A paradigm for what could be The road that I am on is a path I did not choose You tried to burn my world down but only lit a fuse Instilled with so much regret and so long yet to live I rise from the ashes and live the life you could not give A new hope A new beginning A paradigm for what should be To live – I must die to myself Put behind – the things of that world New birth from the ashes of my life To live I must separate from myself
