Lyrics & Translation

[English]

And so the day has finally come

With my past I've drawn the sum

And I'm glad I'm moving on

Lost in un-returning time

Let the winter chill my prime

But I'm done, I'm moving on

Looking back can help you through

But I wonder if that's true

I don't wanna have to stake it

Ohhh

Maybe sorrow is my gain

And I'm learning from the pain

But I'm ready to move on

Coz the moment's high

And my tears have dried

And I feel

Show myself in flame and steel

Coz the moment's nigh

And I'm out to try

This is real

Clad myself in flame and steel

Yeah, you'll be invited

If you're willing to show your hand

Love is requited

Yeah, you'll be invited

If you're willing to show your hand

Love is requited

Lost in un-returning time

Let the winter chill my prime

But I'm done, I'm moving on

Maybe sorrow is my gain

And I'm learning from the pain

But I'm ready to move on

Coz the moment's high

And my tears have dried

And I feel

Show myself in flame and steel

Coz the moment's nigh

And I'm out to try

This is real

Clad myself in flame and steel

Yeah, you'll be invited

If you're willing to show your hand

Love is requited

Yeah, you'll be invited

If you're willing to show your hand

Love is requited
