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 have 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 these wasted years

A life has passed 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 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 have 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 these wasted years
