The Maiden

I will be dead before I lose

My chance to stop this and refuse

To pay the price for time it takes

To kill and stop before it breaks

I will take it all

Before I die

Holding back the truth

Will take over my life

A speech I knew I'd have to give one day

Maybe it would be better saved for another day

Who am I to say?

Who am I to say?

I'll be free without you

I'll be back to the start again

Without this weight around my neck

I can put this all to rest

I'll be free without you

I'll be back to the start again

Let's take this time to realise

Learn from what's been said

Find me among the ashes where I belong

How do I become stronger?

How do I survive this?

Find me among the ashes so where do I belong in this?

Ever morning world

Ever moving space

Maybe it would be better saved for another day

(2x)

I spoke to the maiden

She hasn't said a word

I told her I wasn't coming home

She knew she'd forever be alone

I'll be free without you

I'll be back to the start again

Without this weight around my neck

I can put this all to rest

I'll be free without you

I'll be back to the start again

Let's take this time to realise

Learn from what's been said

Find me among the ashes where I belong

How do I become stronger?

How do I survive this?

Find me among the ashes so where do I belong?

I'll be free without you

I'll be back to the start again

Without this weight around my neck

I can put this all to rest

I'll be free without you

I'll be back to the start again

Let's take this time to realise
