Lyrics Blind Stare

Blind Stare

My Black Letter

Taken my time and gotten only what I'm given

Upon the wall my shadow dim

With my eyes cold as ice in the past I gaze

And sense the rage within

Reflection back burns like hell

I didn't win, so hear my yell

Last in line in the game of life

Betrayed and hollow, it's me who to follow

In sight a despair strong thinking it's all wrong

I shouldn't have let go, no way! – I know

Her eyes I see as I close my mind

Opening my soul for her to bind

The riddler comes to me to ask:

"Do you have to hide behind your mask?"

I am not the same I used to be

And now I feel painfully free

Have to forget all the rain

Just to recall the infernal pain

People change, I know they do

Yet I can't change my point of view

No answer to all questions asked

So pack your bags and finish the task...

(...and die)

Many deeds with no meaning at all

Even so I stand tall

And without a fear I shed no tear

And face what is to come

No more back against the wall

No more roaming the empty hall inside my head

Where all is dead, where shines no light ahead

Out in the distance, for back lies

The essence of life and highest dreams

Behind the point of knowledge

Where the sense of truth so pure and fine

Is cast into the endless time

Taken my time and gotten only what I'm given

Upon the wall my shadow dim

With my eyes cold as ice in the past I gaze

And sense the rage within

Reflection back burns like hell

I didn't win, so hear my yell

Last in line in the game of life

Betrayed and hollow, it's me who to follow

Yet no pitch black letters shall be written

For the future reveals its curtain

I've heard the eager call from down below

But I'll stand tall not letting go!

No pitch black letters...

I'll stand tall...

Not letting go...

Will let go!
