Stand Alone Complex

(album: Father Shadow - 2020)

Enemies from within
Enemies from without
Hostage to her sweet grin
Everything now in doubt

This forbidden love
Will break him even further
He might be the King
But she's the reason the world still sings

And I reach

I reach for heaven but I'm heading straight for hell
I will deny the pain but I know that you can tell
This was not meant to be

You are indeed bound
But not per your ambition
Now aid this special girl
And you will save the world

Horrors from our past
Awaken at long last
Hellbent on their final order
To find and end her

I reach for heaven but I'm heading straight for hell
I will deny the pain but I know that you can tell
This was not meant to be

This was not meant to be
But I'll be by your side
And I'll monitor your heart
Just to make sure it won't stop beating

This is how I give back to earth
Even if it has only given me pain
This is how I give back to earth
Even if it has only given me pain

I reach for heaven but I'm heading straight for hell (Straight for hell)
I will deny the pain but I know you can tell (Tell)
I reach for heaven but I'm heading straight for hell
I will deny the pain but I know that you can tell
This was not meant to be

This is how I give back to earth
Even if it has only given me pain
This is how I give back to earth
Even if it has only given me pain
