가사
[Intro]
[Verse]
What could be more certain
Than the strength of steel in your hands,
The fight for one's survival
And your blood soaked in the sands
With regrets as countless as the stars
that linger in the sky,
The prospect of an open wound
Hurt less than living a lie
[Chorus]
He'd dealt out death and deceit
Though he's sworn "now, nevermore,"
He would suffer defeat and would cheat
His name he would never restore
Those who would seek to control him
Would never let him take flight,
Before he let that happen again
He'd soar and reach for the Light
Before he let that happen again
He'd soar and reach for the Light
[Percussive Break]
[Verse 2]
Starting anew with nothing
But the heavy chains of the past
The light was yet so far
It wasn't certain he'd last
Those dreams he might have harboured
Shattered so long ago
Even with this shot at freedom
This fate, he couldn't know
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
One promise unfilfilled
Two chances to make it right
Three scars upon his face
Nine lives lost that night
He was not prepared to pay
what it cost, for what he'd obtained,
the better life he'd yearned for
yet the only one who remained
[Percussive Interlude]
[Percussive Interlude]
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Refrain]
[Verse 4]
Yet time has healed the scars
But it's just a turn of a page,
When the wind blows up a sandstorm
He feels the embers of rage
To snuff them out completely
will kill that certain spark,
That through those sombre years
Kept him alive in the dark
[Chorus]
He'd dealt out death and deceit
Though he'd sworn "now, nevermore,"
He'd suffered defeat, had to lie and cheat
His name he could never restore
Those who had thought to control him
Never wanted him to take flight,
Before they could stop that happening
He'd rose and reached for the Light
[Refrain]

Yet time has healed the scars
But it's just a turn of a page,
When the wind blows up a sandstorm
He feels the embers of rage
To snuff them out completely
will kill that certain spark,
That through those sombre years
Kept him alive in the dark
[Chorus]
He'd dealt out death and deceit
Though he'd sworn "now, nevermore,"
He'd suffered defeat, had to lie and cheat
His name he could never restore
Those who had thought to control him
Never wanted him to take flight,
Before they could stop that happening
He'd rise and reach for the Light
