Lost Long Ago
A heart that drags behind me and a soul that flies ahead
A body in the middle – half alive, half dead
There's something in the distance and they both chase the unknown
If I had to guess, I'd say their quest is love lost long ago
Well I have grieved and I have wept for lives I'll never live
I've battled Midnight's greatest beasts in fights I'll never win
My body's being carried on a river's gentle flow
Spent my life losing every fight in wars lost long ago
You have gone and tried to hide where Gods and ghosts await
And you've been halfway 'round this world just looking for a place
A place you feel you might belong, a place that feels like home
Where all you've been, I bet that's in a world lost long ago
Winter with her long black hair visited me alone
Told me I'm not the strongest man that she had turned to stone
Handed me her noose and said "Now let me claim your woes
I am sure you're searching for a soul lost long ago"
So now I'm standing eye-to-eye with destiny's face
And though you know I've tried and tried to compromise with fate
It's got me in its cold, hard grasp, I go where it says so
To be straight with you, I owe that to a hope lost long ago
A body in the middle – half alive, half dead
There's something in the distance and they both chase the unknown
If I had to guess, I'd say their quest is love lost long ago
Well I have grieved and I have wept for lives I'll never live
I've battled Midnight's greatest beasts in fights I'll never win
My body's being carried on a river's gentle flow
Spent my life losing every fight in wars lost long ago
You have gone and tried to hide where Gods and ghosts await
And you've been halfway 'round this world just looking for a place
A place you feel you might belong, a place that feels like home
Where all you've been, I bet that's in a world lost long ago
Winter with her long black hair visited me alone
Told me I'm not the strongest man that she had turned to stone
Handed me her noose and said "Now let me claim your woes
I am sure you're searching for a soul lost long ago"
So now I'm standing eye-to-eye with destiny's face
And though you know I've tried and tried to compromise with fate
It's got me in its cold, hard grasp, I go where it says so
To be straight with you, I owe that to a hope lost long ago
