i m sitting half naked my heart racing my soul long dead and i m tracing the lineage but i can t tell where it started here we start the dislocated hung so far from what we d dream hammered down and resurrected we bear the scars of what we ve been now the time of new beginning though the past will never end but you will never catch me thinking it can ever be the same conviction undaunted direction beneath the iron sky and i ve waited now i m shameless it s our warning and my calling through these nights my own reflection chose to turn its back on me will you accept my reparation for the cost of what we ve been i can t stop the wheels in motion i can t heal the broken heart but i can bridge with my devotion all the time we ve spent apart we won t find out what we suffered all alone with every light out still i never gave up hope i see the chance now that i never thought i d know we can try now i was a young man i was a coward i was a blind man i was addicted here are the roses
