Innocence Lost Lyrics

Silently enduring pain
Throughout the passing years
The scars have formed within me
All my trust I'd placed in you
You were the world to me
Your love meant everything

Heartlessly mistreated
Childhood filled with misery

I did not know better
Youthful cursed nativity
I was too blind to see
Pain turned into anger
Burning hatred filling me
Years of endless torment
Filled my life with agony

(But) My time has come
I've taken all I can
And I've survived
I am a stronger man

How the tide has turned now
It is you in need of me
I've gained supremacy

Child becomes the parent
You well-being in my hands
Will I show you kindness?
Or will I exact revenge?

My time has come
I've taken all I can
And I've survived
I am a stronger man

In darkness I've hardened
My will developed stronger
My mind and my spirit
will be your slave no longer!
No longer!
No longer!

My time has come
I've taken all I can
And I've survived
I am a stronger man
