For The Forgotten (Slower and Quieter Version)

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Darkness is closing in… Where did the daylight go? Night is drawing near… And I'm all on my own [Verse 2] The moon is high up in the sky… Gazing down below… Where shadows dance And spirits prance Remembering lives of long ago [Short Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] Hidden from the world… Only I'm permitted to see… The truth of what happens on the other side… Where one day we'll all be… [Chorus] I know all the spirits by name (by name)... And they all know me the same (they know)... They may be unknown By those still living But my heart will always sing… For the forgotten (for the forgotten)... For the forgotten (for the forgotten)... [Short Instrumental] [Verse 3] Laughter and song echo… Weaving throughout the headstones… Their fast moving light Is filling my sight… [Verse 4] But I'm not afraid! For the dark is my friend He holds me close… When I'm at my wit's end… With him he brings Tales of old… Of love And loss And days long ago [Pre-Chorus] Hidden from the world… Only I'm permitted to see… The truth of what happens on the other side… Where one day we'll all be… [Chorus] I know all the spirits by name (by name)... And they all know me the same (they know)... They may be unknown By those still living But my heart will always sing… For the forgotten (for the forgotten)... For the forgotten (for the forgotten)... [Bridge] Here they are free… Free of mortal ties… They can be themselves… And teach me to be mine… [Short Instrumental] [Closing Chorus] Each of these people have a name… Each of them lived a life they claimed… They won't stay unknown For I will atone For those that shaped them into the forgotten… They weren't always the forgotten… One day we'll be the forgotten… But I will always sing… For The Forgotten… For the forgotten (for the forgotten) For the forgotten (for the forgotten) For the forgotten (for the forgotten) Oooooh [Instrumental Outro] [End]
