I am waiting on a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies are forever lost
Soon to ashes in a flash of light

Miles away from me
Hope is fading soon
Gone forever it's a waste of time
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh, if they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I've saved (oh, why)
Thrown away, oh

I am waning like a single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh, if they could just show these wounds how to heal
Here I am (oh, why)

My last stand (oh, why)
And I know
For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show

Throw me down
Throw me down
Throw me down (It's been raining)

Throw me down (and now I'll pay)
Throw me down (Woe is come to me)
Throw me down (I am the lightning rod)

Throw me down (I am waiting)
Throw me down (on a mountaintop)
Throw me down (oh, above me)
Throw me down (He will strike me)

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh, if they could just teach my dark heart to feel

All I am (oh, why)
My last stand (oh, why)
And I know
For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show
