[Verse 1]
I'm crawling back into the shadow where I've always been
My life laid out before me why do I pretend
I'm screaming out with all I have and still there's no one listening, no one hears me struggling

[Chorus]
In the wind the leaves have fallen
But the fire's still ablaze
And there's a mesmerizing picture, but all you see's the frame
Do we fight for what we stand for, or is this a losing game

[Post-Chorus]
Here I am, like a ghost among the men
And here I stand, I walk alone again

[Verse 2]
You talk in whispers but I hear exactly what you say
There was a time I'd listen now I'm not afraid
Behind these empty accusations there's a life here for me some day you'll see it's just a name

[Chorus]
In the wind the leaves have fallen
But the fire's still ablaze
And there's a mesmerizing picture, but all you see's the frame
Do we fight for what we stand for, or is this a losing game
[Post-Chorus]
Here I am, like a ghost among the men
And here I stand, I walk alone again

[Bridge]
I walk alone again
I walk alone again
I walk alone

[Verse 3]
After all I still face this judgement, but they'll swallow their pride tonight
And feast on some other soul, yet I still haven't won the fight
This memory that I've been trapped with, I won't let it all define me
As the frame starts to break away, will I pray for judgement day

[Post-Chorus]
Here I am, like a ghost among the men
And here I stand, I walk alone again

[Outro]
Alone again
(And here I stand,) I walk alone again
