Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A war in heaven in god's rage
He put me in this burning cage
Holy fury locks me in
Imprisoned by my deadly sin
[Verse 2]
Every hour the shadow king
Wonders what his clock will bring
I've lived and loved and that's for sure
My fatal quest forever more
[Verse 3]
The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore
[Verse 4]
To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends
[Verse 5]
Once crucified you forgave it all
But my own life condemned to fall
Where's the glory in your name?
My twisted soul still burns in flame
[Verse 6]
Hark you angels hear my call
Father witness to my fall
Between the lines of sin and pain
I walk the earth now doomed again
[Verse 7]
The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore
[Verse 8]
To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends
[Verse 9]
The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore
[Verse 10]
To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends
[Verse 11]
The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore
[Verse 12]
To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends
