Songtexte Fading Trace - Despite Exile

We cling
We hold on
To what's most dear
But eventually we must let go of everything
It's inevitable
It's inevitable

We cling and we hold on to what's most dear
But eventually we must let go
Of everything
And fade away

They say no rest for the wicked
But we were never even offered a minute to hold still
And so we wallow in fear
We plunge our eyes in the mirror
Wishing we could secure our fleeting reflection
But we won't recognize ourselves

And we will not even recognize ourselves

We cling
We hold on
To what's most dear
But eventually we must let go of everything
Accept to leave a trace behind
And fade away

We'll trade our tranquillity for an anguish unknown
It's inevitable

Again and again it repeats

This sense of oppression and unfulfillment
This unforgiving precariousness
Exposing the frailness in whatever we build

And so we wallow in fear
Of losing the little we've conquered
We plunge our eyes in the mirror
But we won't recognize ourselves
In the end we'll throw in the current
The pieces of our former selves
We'll stare at the source as we're washed away
And by the time we get to the mouth
We won't ever be the same

We cling
We hold on
To what's most dear
But eventually we must let go of everything
Accept to leave a trace behind
And fade away

It repeats
This sense of oppression and unfulfillment
It repeats
We'll fade away
