Allegory Lyrics by Dearest

Retrograde

2022

[Verse 1]
Who was I in my former life?
To make you all believe such fantasies
Memories have been escaping me
Was it a dream? So it seems
You insist on calling me your hero

[Verse 2]
Waves crashing over me
Revealing who I used to be
Now everything I thought was real is fading
So far away from all that I once called home
A leap of faith takes me into the great unknown, alone
Guided by your glow

[Chorus]
You said there was nothing that could make you stay
Caught up in a promise you could never break
Calling my namе as if the world stopped turning
I looked away and now thе sky is burning
So follow the ashes, and they’ll bring you back to me

[Verse 3]
With hope in our hearts, we will roam
Together, much farther than we thought we’d ever go
[?]
Guided by your glow

[Verse 4]
Born with bleeding hearts
We used the fire to fight through the dark
Torn from all we love
Left to expire like those before us
Sworn to rise above
Let only courage define who we are
Mourn those we have lost
And carry on with the wisdom that made us strong
Made us strong

[Bridge]
Float above the earth
Trade your soul for all it’s worth
The clouds become your bed
A place to rest your head
Wander beyond the edge
Begin existence once again

With hope in our hearts, we live on
The road has been paved all along, carry on
Face the dark, guided by your glow

[Pre-Chorus]
You said there was nothing that could make you stay
Caught up in a promise you could never break

[Chorus]
You said there was nothing that could make you stay
Caught up in a promise you could never break
Calling my name as if the world stopped turning
I looked away and now the sky is burning
Just follow the ashes, and they’ll bring you back to me

[Outro]
