Pen My Legacy - My Father's Ghost Lyrics

Feeling my father's fear within my heart
It feels like life will drown me
I must find strength to move on
I see the torment etched upon his soul
It's written on their faces
I've seen It living inside me
And I won't be undone by the shadows
Or the demons you tried to hide

You've always been by my side
Even despite my failures
I won't allow myself to fade
I'll pull myself back from the brink
You taught me time after time
To never throw it away
I owe this life I have to you
And somehow I'll make you proud of me

This shatters me to see you dwindle there
Losing the man I once knew
Before me stands his broken shell
I hold your light to guide me safely home
The sacrifice and passion
You passed this gift unto me
And through this you will live on forever
As my eternal archetype

Stolen from my embrace
By a fate Ill-deserved
But I will harbor in me
Every lesson I've learned

You've always been by my side
Even despite my failures
I won't allow myself to fade
I'll pull myself back from the brink
You taught me time after time
To never throw it away
I owe this life I have to you
And somehow I'll make you proud of me

And I've forgiven you
For every trespass you've made
And I just hope you know
That it kills me
To see you this way

You've always been by my side
Even despite my failures
I won't allow myself to fade
I'll pull myself back from the brink
You taught me time after time
To never throw it away
I owe this life I have to you
And somehow I'll make you proud of me
