[Verse 1]
I'm watching the time pass
I'm watching my dreams die
The abyss shows that the child's grown
[Pre-Chorus]
Apathy, reigns supreme
In the abyss
I know in my heart
I am greater than this
[Chorus]
What could have been
What should have been
Regret plagues me
I [?]
I have passion
Despite all this pain
I've heard my calling
The only master I will obey
[Verse 2]
I'm watching the stars rise
They weigh on my conscience
Will I be a guiding light?
Will I be forgotten?
[Pre-Chorus]
Vitality, reigns supreme
When we are strong
I feel in my heart
This is where I belong
[Chorus]
What could have been
What should have been
Never again!
I [?]
I have passion
Despite all this pain
I've heard my calling
The only master I will obey
[Breakdown]
How much time before they [?]
I'm relinquinshing fear
I'm resurrecting hope
I must not hear the naysayers
The ones disillusioned by
Rage
A self-projection of all they could
Never be!
You can live with your weak mind
Stay the hell away from me!
[Intro]
(You can live with your weak mind,)
(But stay the hell, away,)
From me!
[Bridge 1]
Oh, how this world has beat me down
Ascending further from the ground
Oh, how this world has beat me down
[?], and rise above it all
Ascending further from the ground
[?], I'm above it all
[Bridge 2]
As I sit here, with this pen and paper
I'm writing words that mean nothing, yet everything
My God, I swear to you, I will see this through
Morning will come again, the sun will rise
These words are my memories, telling stories of a live once lived
This is my vow, living life out loud
This is my declaration
These words [?]
Radiating through my screams
Manifested through my dreams
[Chorus]
I have love, I have passion
Despite all this pain
I've heard my calling, the only master I will obey
This is my declaration, built from my foundation
Passion flows through my veins
