lyrics

A heart that drags behind me and a soul that flies ahead,
A body in the middle – half alive, half dead.
There’s something in the distance and they both chase the unknown.
If I had to guess, I’d say their quest is love lost long ago.
Well I have grieved and I have wept for lives I’ll never live.
I’ve battled Midnight’s greatest beasts in fights I’ll never win.
My body’s being carried on a river’s gentle flow. Spent my life losing every fight in wars lost long ago.
You have gone and tried to hide where Gods and ghosts await,
And you’ve been halfway ‘round this world just looking for a place,
A place you feel you might belong, a place that feels like home.
Where all you’ve been, I bet that’s in a world lost long ago.
Winter with her long black hair visited me alone.
Told me I’m not the strongest man that she had turned to stone.
Handed me her noose and said “Now let me claim your woes.
I am sure you’re searching for a soul lost long ago.”
So now I’m standing eye-to-eye with destiny’s face.
And though you know I’ve tried and tried to compromise with fate,
It’s got me in its cold, hard grasp, I go where it says so.
To be straight with you, I owe that to a hope lost long ago.
