A war in heaven in God's rage
00:41
He put me in this burning cage
00:44
Holy fury locks me in
00:47
Imprisoned by my deadly sin
00:50
Every hour the shadow king
00:52
Wonders what his clock will bring
00:55
I've lived and loved and that's for sure
00:57
My fatal quest forevermore
01:00
The days of future past
01:03
To wander on the shore
01:06
A king without a queen
01:08
To die forevermore
01:11
To wander in the wasteland
01:13
Immortal to the end
01:16
Waiting for the judgment
01:19
But the judgment never ends
01:21
01:24
Once crucified, you forgave it all
01:28
But my own life condemned to fall
01:31
Where's the glory in your name?
01:34
My twisted soul still burns in flame
01:36
Hark you angels, hear my call
01:39
Father witness to my fall
01:41
Between the lines of sin and pain
01:44
I walk the earth, now doomed again
01:47
The days of future past
01:50
To wander on the shore
01:52
A king without a queen
01:55
To die forevermore
01:57
To wander in the wasteland
02:00
Immortal to the end
02:02
Waiting for the judgment
02:05
But the judgment never ends
02:07
02:11
The days of future past
02:52
To wander on the shore
02:55
A king without a queen
02:57
To die forevermore
03:00
To wander in the wasteland
03:02
Immortal to the end
03:05
Waiting for the judgment
03:08
But the judgment never ends
03:10
The days of future past
03:13
To wander on the shore
03:15
A king without a queen
03:18
To die forevermore
03:20
To wander in the wasteland
03:23
Immortal to the end
03:25
Waiting for the judgment
03:28
But the judgment never ends
03:31

[English]
A war in heaven in God's rageHe put me in this burning cage
Holy fury locks me in
Imprisoned by my deadly sin
Every hour the shadow king
Wonders what his clock will bring
I've lived and loved and that's for sure
My fatal quest forevermore
The days of future past
To wander on the shore
A king without a queen
To die forevermore
To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgment
But the judgment never ends
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
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
The days of future past
To wander on the shore
A king without a queen
To die forevermore
To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgment
But the judgment never ends
The days of future past
To wander on the shore
A king without a queen
To die forevermore
To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgment
But the judgment never ends
The days of future past
To wander on the shore
A king without a queen
To die forevermore
To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgment
But the judgment never ends
