Lyrics |
Instincts that can still betray us
A journey that leads to the sun Soulless and bent on destruction A struggle between right and wrong You take my place in the showdown I'll observe with a pitiful eye I'd humbly ask for forgiveness A request well beyond you and I Heart and soul - one will burn -- An abyss that laughs at creation A circus complete with all fools Foundations that lasted the ages Then ripped apart at their roots Beyond all this good is the terror The grip of a mercenary hand When savagery turns for good reason There's no turning back, no last stand Heart and soul - one will burn -- Existence - well what does it matter? I exist on the best terms I can The past is now part of my future The present is well out of hand -- Heart and soul - one will burn -- One will burn, one will burn Heart and soul - one will burn |
