Time Lost

This is the ending of an age, the closing of a chapter that Was just beginning... Battered senseless, this is not what you deserve Stripped and left defenseless, this is not what you deserve Stabbed and left to die, all alone forsaken Life plans gone awry, precious life blood taken And your dignity is gone You thought you had found something that was stable Now you're finding you were wrong And the promise made nothing but a fable Blindsided, this is not what you deserve Purposely misguided, this is not what you deserve No foresight for this, words that kept you blind Betrayed with a kiss, life plans undermined And you'll never love again You thought you had found something that was stable Hearts can change just like the wind So it's best to keep them safe beneath the table Actions telling lies Ring, an empty token Formal-wear disguise Vows recklessly broken

There's a new moon out tonight Another reason for living This time I better get it right I've seen life be less forgiving Broken by life's deceptions Mended by one who saw through Fall to the ground before you My judgement came too late I don't deserve forgiveness My sins are far too great To the one who's lost it all The hand can seem so deceiving But pride comes before the fall It's time I started believing Betting my life on a lie Losing my soul in a blink of an eye Fall to the ground before you My judgement came too late I don't deserve forgiveness My sins are far too great

All I see, fruits of my own labor All in vain, all for nothing real All I taste, disappoints in flavor What I know is fighting what I feel This is no time to be distracted Time lost can never be replaced Don't let yourself become attracted This need has got to be restrained Where is the treasure? I know there is one I think I've looked everywhere under the sun I'll search and I'll fail and be dead when I'm done But I think I've searched everywhere under the sun All I've seen seems to lack in color All I've held crumbles in my hands Desperately needing something that will fill this hole Seems like nothing can It's time you find out what's important This futile chase has got to end Don't let your conscience lie there dormant The truth can break but never bend Where is the treasure? I know there is one I think I've looked everywhere under the sun I'll search and I'll fail and be dead when I'm done But I think I've searched everywhere under the sun I've spent my life searching for something to keep me Constantly content And now I'm left here with a longing for what I've spent

No quarter shall be called Loud his cries echo by, like a river's endless flow To wear away the stone and carve his life like a knife The scars he'll never show... Broken dreams shatter the still I'm invincible, unbeatable Splintered hearts lacking the will I'm unstoppable, untouchable The battle's just begun He's standing ground tall and proud Despite the wind that blows As most his comrades fall, like toppled trees in the breeze Where roots, none deep, had grown... Broken dreams shatter the still I'm invincible, unbeatable Splintered hearts lacking the will I'm unstoppable, untouchable In your dance of indecision I never realized just how frail you'd be Cracks have shown in your foundation Castles made of sand crumble eventually Soon the smoke will clear Then we'll see, you and me, just who's king of the hill Though oceans swell with rage, the earth quakes, the bow May break Know I'll be standing still... Broken dreams shatter the still I'm invincible, unbeatable Splintered hearts lacking the will I'm unstoppable, untouchable

Can you look into my eyes before I look away? Can you catch my gaze? Can you see what's deep inside a lost and lonely man? Can you understand that I wear a mask of fear? I cannot be betrayed, that's why I'm so afraid To interact with the other side Instead I act alone, decisions are my own Look, listen Me, myself and I - we will be all right Living all alone in a dark and empty home Just a loner trying to survive Needing companionship to keep oneself alive My body and soul are mine alone to share Making conversation with someone who isn't there If I could just Interact, minds making contact Interact, when chemicals react How can you reach this burning man? You sense his pain and passion, in a silent scream he cries His tale is told through his eyes You cannot look to long before you hear his song Look, listen Me, myself and I - we are doing fine Kid myself I must, there's no one else I trust How can I tell my secrets, when we already know? How can I show my fears, when I've already shone myself To myself, for myself, all by myself Interact, minds making contact Interact, when chemicals react Interact, there's no turning back If I could just interact

In spite of earnest dreams we're broken In spite of arrogance we're humbled For all these stubborn minds we compromise Through all of the rose gardens let us walk Without prickling thorns Through golden lambs may burn, Let us not be tempted more For every cup I drink, don't let me spill one drop In spite of tempting gold we'll never sell our souls To fight for what we've founded, We'll always hold our ground To fight the stale malaise, to fight to preserve our ways Through all of the rose gardens let us walk Without prickling thorns Through golden lambs may burn, Let us not be tempted more For every cup I drink, don't let me spill one drop One more down, we're moving up That much less to go New hope lies within the pain of sweat and of blood You can bet we'll see you there Our shadows will fly over the mountain tops We'll see you there

Save us from ourselves, our creations march against us, Overwhelm us As the men of metal lead us to our final hour
