A spirit speaks to me
It says do not be afraid
You will follow me
To reach serenity
I don't need you I don't need anyone
Step back or I'll show you why
Where am I what is this place
Why can't I recognize a face
What have you done to my life
Why won't you answer me
Just like a grain of sand I find myself fall prey to the black hand
Much more than my sword could withstand
Defeat is running through my head there isn't much more I could of said
When everything leading to this moment was a test
I will never look you in the eyes
I will take you with me
I can't believe what I see
This is more than a dream
This is more than a dream
I'm pulled to parts unknown
My existence hangs on flick if a finger
Why do you decide to play god
And I wonder
What is this place
This is more than a dream
Where am I what is this place
Why can't I recognize a face
What have you done to my life
Why won't you answer me
