Wasted Years Lyrics
I search for what remains
Once a heart so pure, bad blood now in my veins
Wondering what Ill find,
A world thats changed in line
This man has yet to live, just still a child in time

I believed that things would turn around
But hope that faded every day
I survived with madness close behind
Which man did I really betray?

Ive tasted death, Id fought and Id won
Died for this day, this day to come

I have waited for this moment in time
I could have cried a thousand tears
But this freedom now, is all Ill ever need
Redemption of these wasted years

A life has passed me by,
My youth had been and gone
The bitterness is deep it drives me on and on
In realms of power, I was the sacrifice
The cheating of the innocent, the loaded dice

I believed that things would turn around
But hope that faded every day
I survived with madness close behind
Which man did I really betray?

Ive tasted death, Id fought and Id won
Died for this day, this day to come

I have waited for this moment in time
I could have cried a thousand tears
But this freedom now, is all Ill ever need
Redemption of these wasted years
