Lyrics
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 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
