Lyrics

Cornerstone of Misery

Well once again

We set sail toward the sky (The sky with wings of lead)
From frozen cliffs with wings of lead (We find ourselves)
And we find ourselves once more (Back where we began)
The cornerstone of misery

I am ready to breathe again
If I had a million last words to tell you
These words are the end of the solitude
Which held fast for so long inside this cold shell of a human being

They could never be adequate
They could never hold true
So I'm left dreaming of angels
Weaving a symphony (In blue skies)

I dream of angels (These are the dreams you inspire)
Weaving a symphony in blue skies
Well once again
Well once again

We set sail toward the sky (The sky with wings of lead)
From frozen cliffs with wings of lead (We find ourselves)
And we find ourselves once more (Back where we began)
The cornerstone of misery

Those torn wings which grounded me for so long
Have been given new life
So now I can fly with you as we cry for joy while staring at the sun
Nothing can be as bright as this today

No star can shine so beautifully tonight
We find ourselves
Back where we began
We find ourselves
Back where we began
We find ourselves
Well once again

We set sail toward the sky (The sky with wings of lead)
From frozen cliffs with wings of lead (We find ourselves)
And we find ourselves once more (Back where we began)
The cornerstone of misery

The sky with wings of lead
We find ourselves
