Praying Mantis
Album • 1998
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

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

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
