lyrics

REFUGEE OF TRUTH written by DJANGO RUCKRICH

My footsteps break through the ice dead laughter in the breeze

Alone in the night a prisoner of love’s mortality



There’s a house somewhere

Two strangers that share my name



But home is a memory and it’s one

I never can reclaim



A drunk man couldn’t tell my daddy’s face from mine

There’s a hole in the mirror where his iron rings and his rage align



I was 13 for 6 years, captive of fear refugee of truth

On my 19th birthday my hair, turned gray and I lost my youth



Hollow eyes stained

With the hues of heartbreak

Running like a dream

Flees from hope’s decay



I always knew it’s wrong

I just never knew what’s right

It’s hard to win when you don’t

Know what to fight



I thought she’d be the one to help me rise above

But her words were smoke that hid the ashes of our love



There’s a ship crushed by the sea

One storm ends but another comes



I tried to get out

But to my past

Was just the way I knew how to run



There’s flaming signs lit up in twilight streaks of hate

They burn out or they burn you down on pain’s crusade



There’s a new day not the dark

Or the light somewhere in between

It’s the best I can do to not give in

To the shards of my shattered dreams..
