Taken my time and gotten only what Im given
Upon the wall my shadow dim
With my eyes cold as ice in the past I gaze
And
sense the rage within
Reflection back burns like hell
I didnt win, so hear my yell
Last in line in the game of
life
Betrayed and hollow, its me who to follow
In sight a despair strong thinking its all wrong
I shouldnt have let go, no
way! - I know
Her eyes I see as I close my mind
Opening my soul for her to bind
The riddler comes to me to ask:
"Do you
have to hide behind your mask?"
I am not the same I used to be
And now I feel painfully free
Have to forget all the
rain
Just to recall the infernal pain
People change, I know they do
Yet I cant change my point of view
No answer to all
questions asked
So pack your bags and finish the task...
(...and die)
Many deeds with no meaning at all
Even so I stand
tall
And without a fear I shed no tear
And face what is to come
No more back against the wall
No more roaming the empty
hall inside my head
Where all is dead, where shines no light ahead
Out in the distance, for back lies
The essence of life and
highest dreams
Behind the point of knowledge
Where the sense of truth so pure and fine
Is cast into the endless time
Taken
my time and gotten only what Im given
Upon the wall my shadow dim
With my eyes cold as ice in the past I gaze
And sense the rage
within
Reflection back burns like hell
I didnt win, so hear my yell
Last in line in the game of life
Betrayed and hollow,
its me who to follow
Yet no pitch black letters shall be written
For the future reveals its curtain
Ive heard the eager call
from down below
But Ill stand tall not letting go!
No pitch black letters...
Ill stand tall...
Not letting go...
Will
let go!
