Forever in Time

Deep into my soul I search for what remains Once a heart so pure, bad blood now in my veins Wondering what I'll find A world that’s changed in line This man has yet to live, just still a child in time I believed that things would turn around But hope that faded every day I survived with madness close behind Which man did I really betray I've tasted death, I'd fought and I’d won Died for this day, this day to come I've waited for this moment in time I could have cried a thousand tears But this freedom now, is all I'll ever need Redemption of thesе wasted years A life has passеd me by My youth had been and gone The bitterness is deep, it drives me on and on In realms of power, I was the sacrifice The cheating of the innocent, the loaded dice I believe that things would turn around But hope that faded every day I survived with madness close behind Which man did I really betray I've tasted death, I'd fought and I'd won Died for this day, this day to come I've waited for this moment in time I could have cried a thousand tears But this freedom now, is all I ever need Redemption of these wasted years

Young hearts, your blood is not so pure You long to believe in Been searching for all that is true Yet pain survives in you Call me now, it’s not too late If you see me falling Through the darkness, seek and you will find Because this time, the tears will all be mine With a new day dawning, hear me calling Am I just one step in time? For this crime, I cry for all mankind A new start, my chance to put things right I must have been dreaming I hold the key to lighten their lives Their tears will dry in time Touch me now, I’m here to stay If you see me falling Through the darkness, seek and you will find Because this time, the tears will all be mine With a new day dawning, hear me calling Am I just one step in time? For this crime, I cry for all mankind The fate of mankind lay in these hands of mine The future is yours, but will you see I’m the messiah Call me now, it’s not too late If you see me falling Through the darkness, seek and you will find Because this time, the tears will all be mine With a new day dawning, hear me calling Am I just one step in time? For this crime, I cry for all mankind

Do you remember there were five of us Or maybe more We'd be together day by day We'd miss off school and hope that No one else would know for sure Living dangerously that way Searching memories of our yesterdays Far too strong to fade away Every moment has its lifetime And each lifetime Has its day I'm chasing shadows all the way I'm living on memories Holding onto all my childhood dreams The best years of my life I'm looking at the photographs Checking out the way we use to laugh Those were the best years of my life There was a time when everything We did was always bad Running wild without a care And when those smiling faces changed From happiness to sad Look around you don't despair Searching memories of our yesterdays Far too strong to fade away Every moment has its lifetime And each lifetime Has its day I'm chasing shadows all the way I'm living on memories Holding onto all my childhood dreams The best years of my life I'm looking at the photographs Checking out the way we use to laugh Those were the best years of my life The best years of my life I'm living on memories Holding on to all my childhood dreams Those were the best years of my life I'm living on memories Holding onto all my childhood dreams The best years of my life I'm looking at the photographs Checking out the way we use to laugh Those were the best years of my life

Requesting forgiveness Emotions we’d always hide Facing up to reality For this passion versus pride Turn back tomorrow, Turn your back on yesterday Run from the memories, But the guilt is here to stay Every moment has its darkness Tearful thoughts that build the scene Cast a shadow of pretension Repeat in your every dream Turn back tomorrow, Turn your back on yesterday Run from the memories, But the guilt is here to stay A life is gone it won’t repeat Don’t believe it’s your soul to keep For now, I still can taste, The blood of an angel So here we lie, the heart so bare The victims of this world we share And now, I still can taste, The blood of an angel The face of such loneliness Is the one I’ll always see? Reflections I see of me A life is gone it won’t repeat Don’t believe it’s your soul to keep For now, I still can taste, The blood of an angel So here we lie, the heart so bare The victims of this world we share And now, I still can taste, The blood of an angel

Like the open night before you Like the darkness rides the sun Climb upon your golden chariot Now your journey has begun Believe it’s true, that life is just the start Now mind and soul must part In the valley of tomorrow (laying down) Inside this world of mystery (spread your wings) No tears will fall in sorrow (laying down) Your name will live in history, In the Valley of the Kings A thousand words were spoken Though your lips they said so few Moved mountains with your fingertips This world was made for you The thousands came to stay their last goodbye A tribute to their king In the valley of tomorrow (laying down) Inside this world of mystery (spread your wings) No tears will fall in sorrow (laying down) Your name will live in history, In the Valley of the Kings[x2] Ride on – ride on warrior Climb onto the chariot of the flame Ride on – ride on warrior Ride onto these kingdoms where you’ll reign

You can’t see me, I live behind these walls Like to escape, but dream to feed my very soul Just believing, what’s best in life for me? Unlock the door you’ll find the key What is more, you’ll never track me down Too many tried, but never to be found I’ve shed my destiny, my crown I’m the man behind the mask Spinning dreams that never last I’m the man behind the mask You can’t look behind the mask There’s no solution, I always twist and turn The empty promises, some people never learn If there’s a hell on earth, I probably would burn Ill – gotten flames can’t hurt this sun Fame and fortune, follow me around A change of face, a winning smile, Another crown You’ll never kick me when I’m down I can tell you…….. I’m the man behind the mask Spinning dreams that never last I’m the man behind the mask You can’t look behind the mask After all is said and done And the lies can’t find the light of day I’ll be somewhere in the sun Life holds no fear for me, I will just do as I please I’m the man behind the mask Spinning dreams that never last I’m the man behind the mask You can’t look behind the mask

Alone again, you swear for the last time You won't go through this hell of a life You know as mine So start again, build a wall to hide That brave face you hid so well No one else could ever tell, but I know There must be something more There must be something more When your nights are lonely And the tears start to fall like rain When your love’s in the dust Will you remember my name? When all the stars arе fading And you're walking in darkness again When thеre's no one to trust Then you’ll remember my name All over now, so many could have beens But you don't remember the ups and downs Or in-between So close your eyes, feel it slip away You start to feel alive again Until you taste the bitter end Let it go You're holding back the pain Holding back the pain When your nights are lonely And the tears start to fall like rain When your love's in the dust Will you remember my name? When all the stars are fading And you're walking in darkness again When there's no one to trust Then you'll remember my name When your nights are lonely And the tears start to fall like rain When your love's in the dust Will you remember my name? When all the stars are fading And you’re walking in darkness again When there’s no one to trust Then you'll remember my name Will you remember my name? I know you will remember, will remember I know you will remember (When your nights are lonely) I know you will remember, will remember My name When your nights are lonely And the tears start to fall like rain When your love’s in the dust Will you remember my name? When all the stars are fading And you're walking in darkness again When there's no one to trust Then you'll remember my name I know you will remember (When there’s no one to trust) I know you will remember (I know) I know you will remember I know you will remember I know you will remember I know you will remember

Look back on creation A long road to where life begun Right from the start, we had walked all the way The final strait we had run Now look at the world An image of hell that has come The cauldron of life, now melting away Billions of years that’s gone It’s the reason for destruction The nature of the beast The devil’s rejoicing This night that’ll never end Unforgiving darkness This nightmare’s not pretend Life is just illusion A piece of time we hold Captured in our madness The day the sun turned cold The cities on fire The world is aflame Our prayers they were answered before But this time we will burn Our tears in the clouds Our blood in the rain As the earth lies in darkness once more Will it see life again? As the sun hides forever The world is brought to its knees The skies they will hold the ashes of time The seas of blood, they will freeze Searching through the darkness The ghostly sounds ride the wind Seeing the souls of all history gone Kissing goodbye to their friend It’s the reason for destruction The nature of the beast The devil’s rejoicing This night that’ll never end Unforgiving darkness This nightmare’s not pretend Life is just illusion A piece of time we hold Captured in our madness The day the sun turned cold The cities on fire The world is aflame Our prayers they were answered before But this time we will burn Our tears in the clouds Our blood in the rain As the earth lies in darkness once more Will it see life again?

Taking for granted I made the mistake That the heavens can wait You were my creator of soul and heart Now I live in your wake Maybe I’ll be forgiven one day But by whom I don’t know Deserving this punishment now because I do And this sentence so slow Hallowed and be thy name Seeking the road of redemption Reach for the gods in vain Guilty of love and temptation Can I tell you know? Can I tell you how I feel? How my world has turned to darkness In this winter here in my soul The clouds that won’t hide away The rain in my eyes Forgive me I cannot pretend anymore How we failed to hear your cries Running away I have nowhere to hide Searching for peace in my mind These old memories how they haunt me now I know this peace I’ll never find Hallowed and be thy name Seeking the road of redemption Reach for the gods in vain Guilty of love and temptation Can I tell you know? Can I tell you how I feel? How my world has turned to darkness In this winter here in my soul Take away the pain Take away the sorrow now Now I’ll hold you in my mind and heart Nothing more can be real Forever in time Submits, comments, corrections are welcomed at webmaster@darklyrics.com PRAYING MANTIS LYRICS
