Taken my time and gotten only what I'm given 
Upon the wall my shadow dim 
With my eyes cold as ice in the past I gaze 
And sense the rage within 

Reflection back burns like hell 
I didn't win, so hear my yell 
Last in line in the game of life 
Betrayed and hollow, it's me who to follow 

In sight a despair strong thinking it's all wrong 
I shouldn't have let go, no way! – I know 

Her eyes I see as I close my mind 
Opening my soul for her to bind 
The riddler comes to me to ask: 
"Do you have to hide behind your mask?" 

I am not the same I used to be 
And now I feel painfully free 
Have to forget all the rain 
Just to recall the infernal pain 
People change, I know they do 
Yet I can't change my point of view 
No answer to all questions asked 
So pack your bags and finish the task... 
(...and die) 

Many deeds with no meaning at all 
Even so I stand tall 
And without a fear I shed no tear 
And face what is to come 

No more back against the wall 
No more roaming the empty hall inside my head 
Where all is dead, where shines no light ahead 

Out in the distance, for back lies 
The essence of life and highest dreams 
Behind the point of knowledge 
Where the sense of truth so pure and fine 
Is cast into the endless time 

Taken my time and gotten only what I'm given 
Upon the wall my shadow dim 
With my eyes cold as ice in the past I gaze 
And sense the rage within 

Reflection back burns like hell 
I didn't win, so hear my yell 
Last in line in the game of life 
Betrayed and hollow, it's me who to follow 

Yet no pitch black letters shall be written 
For the future reveals its curtain 
I've heard the eager call from down below 
But I'll stand tall not letting go! 

No pitch black letters... 
I'll stand tall... 
Not letting go... 
Will let go!
