Salvation

In my time I have seen many things hard to believe
Is there an answer to this life we lead
We break before we bend as we struggle to defend
The little time we have until the end

Desperate callings in the wind tell words of wisdom can you hear
Yet falling on deaf ears I fear
In the blink of an eye life will quickly pass you by
The hands of time we cannot defy

Salvation. Take me home
So I can see the light shining bright on me
In my desperation salvage my soul
I will live again then I'll find my way

I've crossed all the seven seas
I've watched and I know how it feels
To live and learn, to hate and love it burns your soul
Then in time you fade away

Like a flower you will wither and you will decay
Soon you will say
I'm just a fallen man, my end is at hand
Take me
End all my suffering, bring me peace again
End of the line, this is my final stand

This is my requiem
I was born into slavery
Chained to my own destiny
Now I'll break these chains, end the pain and fly away
I will be set free, free from misery
Save me
I will live again, reborn without a chain
This is the life, the beginning is the end
Salvation take me home

'Til I can see the light, shining bright in front me
My final destination here I come
I will live again, 'til I find my way
In my time I have seen many things hard to believe
Is there an answer to this life we lead
We break before we bend as we struggle to defend

The little time we have until the end
Desperate callings in the wind tell words of wisdom can you hear
Yet falling on deaf ears, I fear
In the blink of an eye life will quickly pass you by
The hands of time we cannot defy
I've crossed all the seven seas

I've watched and I know how it feels
To live and learn, to hate and love it burns your soul
I was born into slavery
Chained to my own destiny

Now I'll break these chains, end the pain and fly away
I am not afraid, I will live again. Take me
End all my suffering, bring me peace again
End of the line, this is my final stand

Salvation take me home
'Til I can see the light, shining bright in front me
My final destination here I come
I will live again, 'til I find my way
