| Deep into my soul | |
| I search for what remains | |
| Once a heart so pure, bad blood now in my veins | |
| Wondering what I’ll find, | |
| A world that’s changed in line | |
| This man has yet to live, just still a child in time | |
| I believed that things would turn around | |
| But hope that faded every day | |
| I survived with madness close behind | |
| Which man did I really betray? | |
| I’ve tasted death, I’d fought and I’d won | |
| Died for this day, this day to come | |
| I have waited for this moment in time | |
| I could have cried a thousand tears | |
| But this freedom now, is all I’ll ever need | |
| Redemption of these wasted years | |
| A life has passed me by, | |
| My youth had been and gone | |
| The bitterness is deep it drives me on and on | |
| In realms of power, I was the sacrifice | |
| The cheating of the innocent, the loaded dice | |
| I believed that things would turn around | |
| But hope that faded every day | |
| I survived with madness close behind | |
| Which man did I really betray? | |
| I’ve tasted death, I’d fought and I’d won | |
| Died for this day, this day to come | |
| I have waited for this moment in time | |
| I could have cried a thousand tears | |
| But this freedom now, is all I’ll ever need | |
| Redemption of these wasted years |
| Deep into my soul | |
| I search for what remains | |
| Once a heart so pure, bad blood now in my veins | |
| Wondering what I' ll find, | |
| A world that' s changed in line | |
| This man has yet to live, just still a child in time | |
| I believed that things would turn around | |
| But hope that faded every day | |
| I survived with madness close behind | |
| Which man did I really betray? | |
| I' ve tasted death, I' d fought and I' d won | |
| Died for this day, this day to come | |
| I have waited for this moment in time | |
| I could have cried a thousand tears | |
| But this freedom now, is all I' ll ever need | |
