I Am Overcome

Hold you here inside my heart In walls of steel and stone I, and I alone must bear The relics of your love In the shadow of the mountain A lonely hero stands Memories flood the land And the earth is swept away I am stumbling, I am falling, I am overcome I remember days of glory Silver at your feet The people lined the streets To see our victory parade Now this age of toil and reason Hearts are crying out Do you hear the sound Above the static in your head? I am breathless; I am speechless; I am overcome This phantom love it leaves me haunted The real you was all I ever wanted Through the fields and shining cities The hero marches on Too late to turn back now Her visions cast along the way I am holding, I am fading, I am overcome I am dreaming, I am yearning, I am hoping, Always searching I am conquered, I am beaten, But my heart is still repeating I am dreaming, I am yearning, I am hoping, Always searching I am conquered, I am beaten, But my heart is still repeating I am dreaming, I am yearning, I am hoping, Always searching I am conquered, I am beaten, I am overcome *THE END*
