Lyrics
[Verse]
I walked a life so long ago,
In different times, I didn't know.
In ancient times, when the Romans roamed,
I lived a life, or so I'm told.
[Short Pause]
[Verse]
A house in the trees, a meadow well-known,
A gate to the past, in its secrets shown.
An execution foretold, in history's hold,
Energies of the soul, let the darkness go.
So long, chaos—it's time to let go.
[Short Pause]
[Verse]
You say we've been here before,
In another life, behind a different door.
Robbed by the hang mans grasp,
Under eternity's mask.
[Short Pause]
[Chorus]
As a teardrop fell, I knew somehow,
O' how I could feel, O' I knew it was real.
We'd been here before, if only once I'm sure.
[Short Pause]
And I know I'll miss you someday,
Not when it's time to part ways,
But when my memories of you fade.
[Short Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse]
You said something I didn't expect,
Said we knew each other before we met.
A land so old, in a meadow of green,
Life long gone, in a time unseen.
[Short Pause]
[Verse]
A mother and son, and a family that slept,
The hangman came to collect the debt.
The father was ripped from their world before long,
The innocent fell, to the world's old song.
[Short Pause]
[Chorus]
As a teardrop fell, I knew somehow,
O' how I could feel, O' I knew it was real.
We'd been here before, if only once I'm sure.
[Short Pause]
And I know I'll miss you someday,
Not when it's time to part ways,
But when my memories of you fade.
[Short Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
It wasn't much longer till the mother followed suit.
The boy, he was furious, he didn't know what to do.
Carried that pain to the next life too,
A pain of regret and anger ensued.
A life left in blame, before his time came.
[Short Pause]
[Verse]
The story, it seems, has no end to tell,
The gate has shut off to the spirit realm.
If the boy wants to know just what lay in before,
He must come to the meadow, walk his own path once more.
[Short Pause]
[Chorus]
As a teardrop fell, I knew somehow,
O' how I could feel, O' I knew it was real.
We'd been here before, if only once I'm sure.
[Short Pause]
And I know I'll miss you someday,
Not when it's time to part ways,
But when my memories of you fade.
[Short Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro]
You asked me what I felt, but I couldn't give way.
I have no emotions, or so I say.
I've felt anger and pain, regret shall tell.
I felt loss and frustration, O' I blame myself.
[End]
[End]
