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 waiting 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 I will pay      (Throw me down)   Woe has come to me   (Throw me down)   I am the lightning rod      (Throw me down)   Well, I've been 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
