IRON GRIP
By Heart of the Sword
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hold on to that memory for a bit more
Live in the past and paint it beautiful
Try to look behind and walk ahead
Only to lose your ability to walk

Hold on to that remorse for a bit more
Lay on the self pity and make it thick
Wallow in your chains of revenge
Curse what has already taken place

Hold on to that pain for a bit more
Clutch at the shard until it cuts deep
Put yourself through this mess
Because it gives you an excuse

Let go of the harsh reality of your past
Let go of those numb legs that won't move
Let go of those chains that weigh you down
Let go of that excuse to avoid the future
