The Darkened Heart

All That Remains

I've watched the days pass

one by one until the fall of man

and seen the cynics feed the jaded

merely scraps and bones

the kingdom shaken

it's foundation nearly turned to sand

with foolish faith in faulted leaders

that I must disown



now rise again this darkened heart

betrays what I've always held so dear

now rise again this darkened heart

it bleeds fast for all my family

now rise again this darkened heart

it bleeds fast for all humanity

now rise again this darkened heart

condemns my soul



I've laid to rest the false belief

of average stock in me

I'll not relent no average destiny

I'll reach the point where mankind's sins

no longer rest in me

A long hard road this manifest destiny

I will not be held down...
