The Lost

When despair overcame me, you were there Pulling me up off the ground You said that it would be all right To find something that's worth living for Stories of determined soul A scrape against the odds Evil defeated by hope Defying kings and gods I took our time for granted, unaware You used up the strength you had Fool's paradise was where you kept me safe Filled with dreams beyond compare Tales of the good and just True love conquering hate Power of a chosen one A dare to seize our fate Please don't go, you have to lead me (Empty throne) I can't rule this world you made (Where we once called home) It's so hard to keep believing (On my own) Shadows of the lost invade Here I stand, alone with the truth Fact or fable, which do I choose? Promises the fallen cannot prove In a battle I cannot afford to lose (Speak not of fate, for it has drowned thee in its wake Hear not the tales of gods, for they are not with thee Seek not the One, for there are none to fight thy war Touch not the face of Death, for he deceives thy will) I remember what you once told me How to fight to live until morning How to keep the demons at bay Use the light to guide thoughts led astray I remember what you once told me Valor is not bestowed so freely How our strength is measured by deeds Cowards serve fear to sate their own needs I remember what you once told me Past regrets only cause more suffering As seasons pass, we stay frozen What could be turns to what could have been I remember what you once told me That the lost are not lost forever Spirits hidden, watching silent Found again with a final judgment Now you're gone, no one to lead me (Empty throne) Left here in this world you made (Where we once called home) Still I've got to keep believing (On my own) For the lost, a debt repaid If you're there, if you can hear me (Empty throne) Witness my unyielding rise (Where we once called home) Before all in full conviction (On my own) Through me, legends will breathe life Here I stand Guarding my own truth Fact or fable? It's faith I choose Promises to the lost I must prove In a battle I vow I will never lose Promises to the lost I must prove In a battle I vow I will never lose Legends last forever
