The Maiden

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Break] 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-moving world, ever-moving space? [Verse 2] Maybe it would be better saved for another day 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 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 [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental interlude] [Break] 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? [Chorus] 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 What's been said What's been said
