[Reason]</i>
|
Think hard, you are lying here in a hospital bed
|
Disregard the emotions inside your head
|
Concentrate on the real world beyond your mind
|
It's not to late to leave your burdens behind
|
|
[Fear]</i> We won't let you go
|
Take you down below
|
Dark crypts of your soul
|
Locked inside your head...
|
You're better of dead
|
|
[Agony]</i> Locked away, she lives in isolation
|
It's been that way, since he has gone
|
She been through life of depravation
|
She depends on you, her only son
|
|
[Passion]</i> She won't let you go
|
Keep you down below
|
Dark crypts of your soul
|
Locked inside your head
|
You're better of dead
|
|
[Agony]</i> Where are you, can't you hear her calling?
|
Nothing you can do, you have no time
|
There is no one there, to catch her now she's falling
|
Why should you care, you are doing fine
|
|
[Passion]</i> She won't let you go
|
Keep you down below
|
Dark crypts of your soul
|
Locked inside your head
|
You're better of dead
|
|
[Reason]</i> Now she's at rest, she finally found her peace
|
There's no need to blame yourself
|
You must let go, or the pain will never cease
|
It's time to crawl out of your shell
|
|
Your mother died, the day your father left
|
A part of you died as well
|
Feelings of guilt will haunt you 'til the end
|
You must fight hard to break this spell
|
|
But it hurts...
|
|
[Fear]</i> You hear her voice, from beyond her grave
|
"Where were you son, when I needed you
|
Is this your thanks for all the warmth I gave
|
Did you forget what I been through?"
|
|
You hear his voice, cold and merciless
|
"You worthless fool, you let her die!"
|
And deep within yourself, you must confess
|
Your ways cannot be justified
|
|
[Pride]</i> By now you realized, you have to be
|
relentless to survive
|
Repress your memories,
|
bury all emotions and thrive!
|
It's your life!
