Ice and fire
A cold hand crushing all I can be
Lust and desire
Creating a vision I'd rather not see
A cold hard look at myself
A sobering eye looking back at me
A clean soul but a mind that lies
Controlling the world that I see

Can I take the pain, stand up to the shame
And wield the hammer of my god

Give me a reason not to give up and walk away
I'm not a savior, I'm just like you in every way
A shade of grey

Tornado of darkness
Shatters the road I walk upon
My past is not my future
Moving forward is where I belong
Be bold and keep walking on
Strength and courage for all to see
A steamroller of hate, red mist of rage
Strike for-with the hammer of my god

Give me a reason not to give up and walk away
I'm not a savior, I'm just like you in every way
A shade of grey

I don't want to know
What the future holds for me
I don't want to see
My life set out for me

Give me a reason not to give up and walk away
I'm not a savior, I'm just like you in every way
A shade of grey
You can't help someone, no
'Till they want it themselves
Face the fact, what we are
Is a shade of grey
