	Story Behind the Song The lyrics speak for themselves. In regards to the recording process, I went down to Sydney, Australia and recorded at a studio called Velvet Sound. The song's Drum and Bass parts were recorded in two takes by Kere Buchanan (Drums) and Nick Sinclair (Bass). We brought the parts back up to Brisbane on hard drive where we proceeded to record the remaining guitar and vocal parts. My vocals for this song took three takes. We ended up using the first take as it was alot more emotional in the climax of the song. Lyrics Beaten here within an inch of losing touch of hope Left under vulture's rotary I feel too ill to cope Laying in the wake of what your dust kicks up behind It seems the signs that brought me down weren't visible while blind My eyes are filled with earthly truth and rubbed to red by sand Somewhere out in front of me my blood has stained your hand Faded like a fire's demise, the embers of your face To think they looked upon me, seeking anything but grace CLOSE TO YIELDING, LEFT TO DIE AND STILL AT LOSS TO SEE WHO IT IS WHO TRIES TO TAKE THE FINAL BREATH FROM ME MY SMILE IT NEVER BROUGHT YOU JOY. IT BOILED YOUR BLOOD FILLED VEINS YOU'D HATE THE WAY I'D LAUGH IT OFF IN SPITE OF ALL MY PAIN You couldn't find your peaceful place so you made such noise in mine With blows that broke the silence which I'd searched so hard to find The tears may wash and clear away the clouds that fill my eyes The dust may finally settle, but on my own demise (CHORUS) You can take my life away, or break my heart in two But I've already built a legacy to live on after you And you can't escape the melodies they'll sing when I am gone And you can't erase every smiling face each time they sing my song (CHORUS x 2) Written by Tommy Ryan ©2003 All Rights Reserved
