Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse]
Long ago I lost my home
And everyone I held dear
I never thought I could go on
But now I stand before my fears
[Verse 2]
You, a shadow of the man I once knew
Left only pain and suffering in your wake
One's dream could never be whole again
To think that so many died in vain
[Chorus]
Shadow of a ruined dream
How dare you appear before me?!
Crimson piercing eyes gazing upon all
Do you see what I see, this marks your downfall
Violation, desperation
Forgiveness is too much for you
But now you gave me a fighting chance
The child shall see this through
[Chorus]
Shadow of a ruined dream
How dare you appear before me?!
Crimson piercing eyes gazing upon all
Do you see what I see, this marks your downfall
Violation, desperation
Forgiveness is too much for you
But now you gave me a fighting chance
The child shall see this through
[guitar solo]
[guitar solo]
[guitar solo]
[bridge]
The Crystal Spire scraping the void
Shall bear witness to this overthrow
[Chorus]
Shadow of a ruined dream
How dare you appear before me?!
Crimson piercing eyes gazing upon all
Do you see what I see, this marks your downfall
Violation, desperation
Forgiveness is too much for you
But now you gave me a fighting chance
The child shall see this through
[heavy breakdown]
[heavy breakdown]
Now you gave me a fighting chance
The child shall see this through
[outro]
[bridge, soft sung]
The Crystal Spire scraping the void
Shall bear witness to this overthrow
[buildup]
[Chorus]
Shadow of a ruined dream
How dare you appear before me?!
Crimson piercing eyes gazing upon all
Do you see what I see, this marks your downfall
Violation, desperation
Forgiveness is too much for you
But now you gave me a fighting chance
The child shall see this through
[heavy breakdown]
[outro]
[heavy breakdown]
[metal vocals]
Now you gave me a fighting chance
The child shall see this through
[outro]
[buildup]
[Chorus]
Shadow of a ruined dream
How dare you appear before me?!
Crimson piercing eyes gazing upon all
Do you see what I see, this marks your downfall
Violation, desperation
Forgiveness is too much for you
But now you gave me a fighting chance
The child shall see this through
[long heavy breakdown]
[male vocals, screaming]
Now you gave me a fighting chance
The child shall see this through
[Outro]
[heavy instrumentals]
[final verse, duet, soft sung]
Now you gave me a fighting chance
The child shall see this through
[outro]
