I Am Overcome

Hold you here inside my heart
In walls of steel and stone
I, and I alone must bear
The relics of your love
In the shadow of the mountain
A lonely hero stands
Memories flood the land
And the earth is swept away
I am stumbling,
I am falling,
I am overcome
I remember days of glory
Silver at your feet
The people lined the streets
to see our victory parade
Now this age of toil and reason
Hearts are crying out
Do you hear the sound
above the static in your head?
I am breathless;
I am speechless;
I am overcome
This phantom love it leaves me haunted
The real you was all I ever wanted
Through the fields and shining cities
The hero marches on
Too late to turn back now
Her visions cast along the way
I am holding,
I am fading,
I am overcome
I am dreaming,
I am yearning,
I am hoping,
always searching
I am conquered,
I am beaten,
But my heart is still repeating
I am dreaming,
I am yearning,
I am hoping,
always searching
I am conquered,
I am beaten,
But my heart is still repeating
I am dreaming,
I am yearning,
I am hoping,
always searching
I am conquered,
I am beaten,
I am overcome
