The Bard I lived my life to the fullest Without a trace of ruefulness, I lived to the fullest I lived my life from my passion Walked the path I had chosen, all from my passion There was no greater joy for me Than sharing songs and poetry I've been blessed with fame and glory At times yielded to lust willingly At the other side of the tunnel Was waiting the tribunal The judge said I was guilty Of unsanctified heresy I had sung unholy lyrics And corrupted minds through music For this and my debauchery I’ll stay here for eternity Therefore I shall never rest But who would have ever guessed? In my life, art made me bloom But in the end, it would my doom If only I would have known Would have at least tried to atone, if I would have known For all the sins that I carry I feel that it's too late for me, it is too late for me Will I ever get another chance To make people wanna dance? Will I ever find what lies behind, This melody raging through my mind? Of this beautiful resonance Created by these soul’s mischance This is a tragedy My art was taken away from me The Thief When I was found guilty of theft The judges ruled my end To survive I just had no choice left And so I begged all of them Please let me live I wanna roam the world again, be free like before Please let me live I wanna see the Sun again, just see it once more I know, I know this might be where I belong Run. Run with longer strides from this human tide Hide. Find sanctuary from society Flee. Flee for your own sake the pain you'll tolerate Fate. When you meet your fate we will celebrate Twice in a row I've been condemned, then was tossed aside The first judge decided they would hang me from the gallows The other sent me down into the inferno All this time nobody cared At the end they only laughed ‘til the moment I passed Watching me sway as life drifted away With the Sun at my back, with the Sun at my back Now, I know this place is where I belong Run with longer strides from this human tide Find sanctuary from society Curse. Life was just a curse and hell is no worse Pain. Both gave only pain to me they are the same The Saint Forgotten, unforgiven, forsaken into oblivion Hatred has replaced my devotion Awful reason I decried, for Heaven to be denied Me, the sanctified, holy being as I lived and died Hadn't believed in the righteous god, oh no It seems that I only worshiped a fraud Open wounds, torture tools, screams and darkness Did I really deserve such a mess? Much too cruel is this cesspool of distress Now I’m bound to this tormented place, And I know there is no escape All my life I did your will, In my life I never killed All of my desires sealed away, Casting any pleasures astray At the time did not envy All that I would never be But now I see all the possibilities This life took away from me In my life I never felt the warmth of a private night All my life I only knelt, beholding your heavenly might I never have strayed from virtue, I really did believe in you My faith, my self-restraint, it was all in vain Burning souls, blazing fires, shouts of anger Did I really deserve to suffer? With no faith, with no hope, and forever Seeking endlessly for the answer Open wounds, torture tools, screams and darkness Did we really deserve such a mess? With no faith, with no hope, forever seeking without an answer Just imagine what I could have been Can you just imagine what I could have seen? As I died, staying true to my beliefs I was sure it was nothing to grief But the judge said it was such a shame that my god and the creator were not the same They sent me down to burn into the flames, and my god was to blame Burn forever, forever, all that is left, desolation, remains the fire Forever, for evermore, here within hell's blight Forever, where we were brought, the light is gone for naught Disillusion Now I see, why I could never fathom heaven declined I was blind to never dare to resign Finally, I clearly know what was raging through my mind I can see their complex harmony For today is the day where the illusion will fall Hear the call of the melody that I recall This song I hear sings of hope more than fear We paid the toll time has come to be whole We'll meet again as equals in the end Under the ground our souls will be bound To this gathering Bliss as I realize What was raging through my mind And today I regain my art As I lead the waltz
