Icon by Introspectrum Lyrics

You walk alone
You trace the steps of youth
But there’s nothing left to follow
This time

Your misdemeanours
Your fragile fantasy
You were far too afraid
To face the future

And with a heart made of stone
You buried your home
With no thought for consequence
You built a monument

Your endeavour to be strong
Has let it all fade away
You’ve forgotten what it took
To build an Icon

And though you're tearing at the walls
Your will is wearing thin
Do you remember what it takes
To destroy an icon?
You have stolen the light from their gaze
Tied to the rocks
They are bound to their chains

But in the distance lies a dream
Where hope is not what it seems
They close their eyes as they realise
They’ll die in your name

Your endeavour to be strong
Has let it all fade away
You’ve forgotten what it took
To build an Icon

And though you're tearing at the walls
Your will is wearing thin
Do you remember what it takes
To destroy an icon?
