Tristania

I've been trying to participate

in masquerades

The throne's been empty for too long

Paradise for those who play along

and the fortunate ones



I've been listening to the voice

at night

And he is right

I am the chosen one

And my shepherd, he has paid my ride

I will go with a smile



I've been begging for the public eye

Now watch me fly

Can you see what I've become

So expose me - I shall be released

When the flesh paints the street



I was walking through the valley of

the living dead

Did not count the tears I shed

Always chasing those elusive dreams

A drop of blood in the stream
