Paroles de The Phantom

This is my legacy of pain Condemned to darkness for a thousand years Though I've learned I can disguise my tears Inside the memory lingers on Out on the cliffs I watch the waves Incessant pounding like my funeral drum, Not every semblance of my heart is gone They show how empty I've become I wasn't ready, my lifetime on God's earth had only begun I was the victim of death's catastrophic mistake No man sees the hands of the clock When his moment come, it's not death that he fears No man ever knows what he's got Till he can't see the light for the tears She was the one I lost in vain She was the love I left behind that day There were so many things I didn't say I'll never have the chance again I feel the rain upon my face It just can't wash away a thousand years And though I try so hard to hide my tears Inside your memory lingers on I wasn't ready, I thought that my life here had only begun There was too much in my life just to take it away No man sees the hands of the clock When his moment come, it's not death that he fears No man ever knows what he's got Till he can't see the light for the tears I feel the rain upon my face It just can't wash away a thousand years And though I try so hard to hide my tears Inside your memory lingers on
