Lyrics[]
In a lifetime of decay, silent cry for yesterday
When the world will see the end of eternity
Sacrifice before the dawn of a child soon to be born
Before the night, too many tears we cry
In a long forgotten land
Through the silent raging pain
Of the price to pay that awaits for me
The end of all our destiny
Don't close your eyes tonight
For the lights beyond still shine towards a brighter day
The time has come for us, tread blood across the sands
Carry on as the red rivers flow
And through the wilderness we feel the pouring rain
In the silence ever searching on through the misery
And all the promises we made and cried in vain
Don't you take the time to realize the master of disguise?
Blind my eyes, burning forever, to wash my sins away
Out of the dark, pain is the prize
Fly away out of the raging storm
Lost within my memories
Still haunting me
Never ending story
Far and wide, forever on
Stand before the world alone
we journey to the other side
Raise your hands to the sky!
Through the night and through the day
Don't look back no time to pray
The battle rages on,
Marching on and on
Don't cry for me tonight
For the lights beyond will guide me home tomorrow
The time will come for us the curse is growing strong
Carry on with the rise of the sun
So take me far away it's time to set me free
All my life I have been waiting but I could never see
Raising your hands to the sky
Turning your eyes to the sun
Pray for forgiveness,
The power to save us
has gone for the last time
And blind my eyes, burning forever, to wash my sins away
Out of the dark, pain is the price
Fly away out of the raging storm
Lost within my memories
Still haunting me
Never ending story
And blind my eyes, burning forever, to wash my sins away
Out of the dark, pain is the price
Fly away out of the raging storm
Lost within my memories
Still haunting me
Never ending story
