Fates Warning Follow

Yeah, dark and dampness lingers in body and in soul
Dead wall of stone I cry out for twenty years alone
Examinate a penance, not fit for man nor beast
Innocent of mortal sin, do hear me out at least

Man of strong mind and soul deserves a second chance
Just to see a glimpse of light would warm my icy hands

Any kin or family, just an echo in my mind
Silence loudens tribulations that I left behind
Just then a beam of light projects from underneath a rock
It could've been escape, I'm free, I'll dig my fingers raw

Man of strong mind and soul deserves a second chance
Just to see a glimpse of light would warm my icy hands

Deep in your mind, look for the answer, it'll be there
Life, strange illusion, stay low, it'll take care
Time is the sentence in which, we humans abide
Make sin your companion, then Satan be your bride

The tunnels deep and twisting, as I press my body through and through
Entrapped in this one way passage, in lights I must pursue and soon
I grasp the bars at the end of my crawl as I gape down to the sea
The skeleton of a man who tried, a fool just like me

Man of strong mind and soul deserves a second chance
Just to see a glimpse of light would warm my icy hands

Deep in your mind, look for the answer, it'll be there
Life, it's a strange illusion, take it slow, it'll take care
No, time is the sentence in which, we humans abide
Make sin your companion, then Satan be your bride
