My faithful companion I've lost my way once again A prisoner of darkness I let you down my friend The time has come to testify All the feelings I've been holding back How many times must a man fall down How many dreams have to fall to the ground Maybe I was born to wander I have no high hopes any longer So tell me my friend Just where does it end Will nothing free me From this hell I'm living in I cannot blame myself anymore I've been beaten and accused before Well I took some bad advice And I paid too high a price How can some people have the nerve Hell hasn't frozen but it's on the verge It has gone way past the point of greed How many life times shall we need How many times must a man fall down How many dreams have to fall to the ground Is nothing ever gonna free me From this hell I'm living in Why so much pain I cry for forgiveness I'm a destitude man Who still remains It's so hard to explain Before I leave this world The time has come to testify All the feelings I've been holding back It's time - to set them free It's time - to set them free I cannot blame myself anymore I've been beaten and accused before Well I took some bad advice And I paid t oo high a price
