This Time Was Mine

(album: III: In The Eyes Of Fire - 2006)

Victim the cards were dealt with less time for me.
Rebel my only way to avoid your sympathy.
Virtue spellbinding charm and strength of a hurricane.
Blacksheep the rebel son that clashed with authority.
Powerless at least I have tonight.
The roads not long at least I have tonight.
Bloodline few will see this through to the end.
Cower some hide in fear.
Controlled by ignorance.
Eyes Closed the cruelest site for those dear to me.
Sting your conscience seared as anguish tears away.
I might not come back tomorrow.
Please know I chose the right path for me.
I've lived, I've died.
I've done it all a thousand times and, I don't regret a thing I've done.
This time was mine to have I've lived and died a thousand times.
Wanderer I've seen it all like no other man.
I've seen the light of all worlds Father.
I did my best for the lack of my own.
Son a ragged path, but the love was not unknown.
Brother the best of times a forever unyielding bond.
Free from this disease.
Farewell, I'll miss you all.
