about

This is a remake of "Ashlie", from my earlier album, Lights of Andromeda. The vocals have been re-recorded, and the song has been repurposed for the cause of Ria Fincham, and her fight with NMO. Every sale of this album will be donated to her charity to find her a cure. You can help as well!

lyrics

Ria: In time, we'll the day when, we'll rise against your lies. (I hope when I walked away, you realized that I was right.)

Answered:

I'll wish for dreams, and you'll wish for absolution,
Where struggle bows to your feet.
Through pain and weary eyes, let live the will to fantasize,
I'll give me only sacrifice, and heal the wounds.

Will I survive this heart attack?
The silent screams come running back,
But without fear, I'll promise that.
This hell will pass

I'll be your arms to hold you close.
I'll be the blood for your racing pulse,
I'll pick you up when you simply can't last.

(Chorus)

This can't be the end,
I have killed to defend
Your will to ascend above,
(Oh Ria)
And you will carry on,
And the day that you fall,
Is the hour that I stop writing songs.
(Oh Ria)

These tears you cry, this hell and fire,
How hard you try is strength inside.
Your fight is my fight, your smile is my pride,
and i melt at the light in your eyes.

But after all that we have done,
After all that we have won,
Why is there no euphoria at all?

But I might as well just shut my mouth.
My words means nothing to you anyhow,
But while I still have stories to tell,
I'll tell them for you.

(Chorus)

This can't be the end,
I have killed to defend
Your will to ascend above,
(Oh Ria)
And you will carry on,
And the day that you fall,
Is the hour that I stop writing songs.
(Oh Ria)

This might be a tragedy, but one day you'll see, we're never alone.
You are the perfection that you strive to be the best of,
and maybe now it's time for you to know.

So when the darkness comes, and you open your eyes,
I will hold you close and keep you alive,
When the fire dies and you're left in the cold,
When you look for love but you're left alone.

Oh Ria, don't be scared. Oh Ria, don't be scared.

(Chorus 2)

So when the darkness comes, and you open your eyes,
I will hold you close and keep you alive,
When the fire dies and you're left in the cold,
When you look for love but you're left alone.

Oh Ria, don't be scared. Oh Ria, don't be scared.

Oh Ria, please, don't be scared, don't be scared, Oh Ria, please, don't be scared.

Life has this mysterious way of testing what we're capable of, like it's challenging us, and most of those challenges would kill us, but here you are.
