Day after day I'm consumed by the guilt
There's no escape from this living hell I've built
Night after night I wallow in remorse
I'm a veteran of a thousand inner wars

My past won't leave me alone
It haunts me now and forevermore
My fate was sealed long ago
Written in blood and carved in stone

Dethroned, my reign of power's now gone
Dropped out of sight
And left it all undone
My whole life, was it all built on lies?
Should I just run and hide
And leave it all behind?

Day after day I'm consumed by the guilt
There's no escape from this living hell I've built
Night after night I wallow in remorse
I'm a veteran of a thousand inner wars

My past won't leave me alone
It haunts me now and forevermore
My fate was sealed long ago
Written in blood and carved in stone

Dethroned, my reign of power's now gone
Dropped out of sight
And left it all undone
My whole life, was it all built on lies?
Should I just run and hide
And leave it all behind? (Leave it all behind)
