The Road Seems Longer

We were beautiful, we were young and free
We were legends, mythology
We were bonded, we could never sever

But like Roman heroes lost at sea
We all turn into history
And how we believed that we could live forever

And just like falling Babylon
Time, the army marches on
Down a road that only steals your treasures

and with nothing left to hold on to
The only ties you can’t undo…
are wrapped around your soul

The truth seem harder
The nights seem colder
The road seems longer
Than ever before

And time moves slower
And I feel older
The road seems longer
Than ever before

I thought I wouldn’t be afraid
as debts that all were left unpaid
brought the tax collector to the doorway

Winter just feels different now
It’s left me unprepared somehow
It’s not enough to stoke the fire midway

All those photos fade to black
Time was running off the track
All the money in the world just can’t buy it back

Miracles have long since past
And beauty isn’t meant to last
It wouldn’t do me any good
