It feels like an eternity
Since I left it all behind
To follow the dream of my life
It feels like an eternity
Since I went on my own way
The flower has long since withered away.

No one will ever understand this song
Nor see the blood I shed on this road so long
But, stranger, if you're listening to me
If you'd like to know who I might be
Hear these words:
I'm just a walking shadow
Trapped between passion and devotion
A shadow, with emotions.

Yeah stranger, I'll sing it again
To help clear the bloodstain
To help heal some of these scars
To set free an enchained heart.
Following the call, I left all behind
To take a life of fucking compromise!
I started this hallowed game
That led me fucking insane.

No one will ever understand this song
Nor see the hell I faced on this road so long
But, stranger, if you're listening to me
If you'd like to know who I might be
Hear these words:
I'm just a roaming shadow
A bard, who forsook his life
A saint that dwells in sins.

It's time to make these amends
And forget all useless laments.
This fucking road took blood
Thou it's my only God.
I'll learn to love the scars on me
Make them see this is what I wanna be
I'll play this song, like all,
With all my love.
Today it is, tomorrow it won't.

Lost in purgatory, between heaven and hell
I'll sing this song, I'll play for me and them.
(Standing on a pillar of love, I will
today and forever, till I'm put to rest)
Love and pain, passion and devotion
Heaven and hell, lost in purgatory:
I'm driven beyond any salvation.
