This Time Was Mine

Victim, the cards were dealt with less time for me
Rebel, my only way to avoid your sympathy
Virtue, spellbinding charm
And the strength of a hurricane
Blacksheep, the rebel son
That clashed with authority

Powerless, at least I have tonight
The road's not long, at least I have tonight

Bloodline, few will see this through till the end
Cower, some hide in fear, controlled by ignorance
Eyes closed, the cruelest site for those to see
Sting, your conscience seared as anguish tears away

I might not come back tomorrow
Please know I chose the right path for me

I've lived, I've died
I've done it all a thousand times
And I don't regret a thing I've done
This time was mine to have

I've lived
I've lived
I've lived it all a thousand times

Wanderer, I've seen it all like no other man
Wanderer, I've seen it all like no other man
I've seen the light of all worlds
I've seen the light of all worlds

Father, I did my best for lack of my own
Son, a ragged path, but the love was not unknown
Brother, the best of times, a forever unyielding bond
Free from this disease
Farewell, I'll miss you all

I've lived, I've died
I've done it all a thousand times
And I don't regret a thing I've done
This time was mine to have
