lyrics

Part I

(Instrumental)

Part II

Who are you to call me here?
Who are you to see these tears?
When, when I relive my life
When I had my love denied

I lived my life from day to day
With faith beyond the stars
And never had a chance to be -
Be looked at through the scars
Maybe what we pray for
Will never come true
Maybe who we live for
They never shine through

When will I be brought to life
When will I be by your side
You broke me down just like a rose
Through winter chills and harshest snow.

I lived my life from day to day
With faith beyond the stars
And never had a chance to be -
Be looked at through the scars
Maybe what we pray for
Will never come true
Maybe who we live for
They never shine through

Part III

You choose this as my destiny
To witness my misery
Still frozen from my life to be
Between these plains in custody

Your words now mean nothing to me
I’ve lived through my life’s tragedy
Now I'm searching for my meaning
Revenge comes kicking and screaming

Where are those who pulled me down?
Where is he who can't be found?
Where is she who caused me fear?
Who are you to call me here?

I lived my life from day to day
With faith beyond the stars
And never had a chance to be -
Be looked at through the scars
Maybe what we pray for
Will never come true
Maybe who we live for
They never shine through

Part IV

I made my wish
To see it all burn
Their fears & screams
await my return
All of my chilling memories
You drag up through the mud
I’ve been looking for my redemption
in yearning for their blood

All my love has gone
There’s nowhere I belong
I’ve felt it all along
Where did I go wrong
I’m feeling all alone now
My soul cannot be found
My heart beat wants to roam
To where I’ll find my home
I’m feeling no connection
To those who caged me here
I’m feeling no protection
From the words that I hear

A flush of fury
Washes over me
I hold no remorse
For my blasphemy
They broke up my home and locked me away
They took my family
Everything you see before you
Is a distant memory

All my love has gone
There’s nowhere I belong
I’ve felt it all along
Where did I go wrong
I’m feeling all alone now
My soul cannot be found
My heart beat wants to roam
To where I’ll find my home
I’m feeling no connection
To those who caged me here
I’m feeling no protection
From the words that I hear

Part V

Please hold my hand
Take me to the Promised Land
I don't want to be alone
I want to find my home
I wish I could stand
By your side again
Why can’t I rise?
And look deep in your eyes
And tell you from the start
From the bottom of my heart
I wanted to love you
I wanted to obey you
Pray to you
Bathe in you
But all hope is gone

Part VI

(Instrumental)
