You walk alone

You trace the steps of youth

But there’s nothing left to follow

This time

Your misdemeanours

Your fragile fantasy

You were far too afraid

To face the future

And with a heart made of stone

You buried your home

With no thought for consequence

You built a monument

Your endeavour to be strong

Has let it all fade away

You’ve forgotten what it took

To build an Icon

And though you're tearing at the walls

Your will is wearing thin

Do you remember what it takes

To destroy an icon?

You have stolen the light from their gaze

Tied to the rocks

They are bound to their chains

But in the distance lies a dream

Where hope is not what it seems

They close their eyes as they realise

They’ll die in your name

Your endeavour to be strong

Has let it all fade away

You’ve forgotten what it took

To build an Icon

And though you're tearing at the walls

Your will is wearing thin

Do you remember what it takes

To destroy an icon?
