Ad Astra (Revised) (lyrics, title)

Ace · 02-05-2009, 01:07 AM

Alright, so a while back I wrote something on here titled "Ad Astra".
I've been toying with the idea of doing an alternate version for a while now, because I'm not sure if I picked the right feel for the lyrics the first time.
Let me know what you think of this version.

I may replace the word "shamed" later and add some more to it.
This is pretty much the core of the lyrics, though.

Ad Astra (Revised)
02/04/09 - 02/05/09

[-----Verse 1-----]

My body's broken, my soul is shamed
I'm barely breathing and I feel
Pushed away

From your love and from your grace
I need your light to guide me
Into place

[-----End Verse-----]

[-----Chorus-----]

I cannot go on
Without you anymore
But why can't I let go
If I'm so afraid to hold you close?

I need your light to guide me
Into your open arms

I need your light to guide me
To the stars

[-----End Chorus-----]

[-----Verse 2-----]

My spirit's fading, my mind is numb
I'm barely living and I feel
So alone

I need your light to give me hope
I've been so lost since you
Left the world

[-----End Verse-----]

[-----Chorus-----]

I cannot go on
Without you anymore
But why can't I let go
If I'm so afraid to hold you close?

I need your light to guide me
Into your open arms

I need your light to guide me
To the stars (x2)

[-----End Chorus-----]
