Savatage

so after all those one night stands

you've ended up with heart in hand

a child alone on your own retreation

regretful for the things you're not

and all your dreams you haven't got without a home

a heart of stone lies bleeding

and for all the roads you followed

and for all you did not find

and for all the things you had to leave behind

I am the way

I am the light

I am the dark inside the night

I hear your hopes

I feel your dreams

and in the dark I hear your screams

don't turn away

just take my hand

and when you make your final stand

I'll be right there

I'll never leave

and all I ask of you is believe

your childhood eyes were so intense

while bartering your innocence

for bits of string the grown up wings you needed

but when you had to add them up

you found that they were not enough

to get you in pay for sins repeated

and for all the years you borrowed

and for all the tears you cried

and for all the fears you had to keep inside

I never wanted to know

never wanted to see

I wasted my time

till time wasted me

I never wanted to go

I always wanted to stay

cause the persons I am

are the parts that I play

so I plot and I plan

and I hope and I scheme

to the lure of a night

filled with unfinished dreams

and I'm holding on tight

to a world gone astray

as they charge me for years

I can't pay

believe
