Stricken Within

Verse 1:
Awake to face the day
Dawn's light piercing my eyes
Remembrance of my youth
Those years seem to pass me by
And now i rise
Fortold of my oncoming demise
Stricken with disease
A plague paralyzing life

Solo 1: Elliott

Verse 2:
All the friends I've had
Stood beside me all of my life
But now they turn away
Fear has made them blind
A curse that lives inside me
Feeding on my pain
And now I'm a walking shell
Of the man that I'd once been

Chorus:
A lonely man trapped on a sea sorrow
A lonely world looking back at me
Alone I stand to face tomorrow
I won't be damned to a life of misery

Solo 2: Kral

Verse 3:
Though my death is drawing near
I'll fight to the end
Teach the children not to succumb to ingnorance
I stand on the edge
Screaming out for a cure
To end the hatred
And the intolerance in the world

Repeat Chorus

Solo 3: Elliott
Harmony 1: Elliott / Kral
Solo 4: Elliott

Verse 4:
Another day folds
As my requiem begins
A macabre symphony
Reminding me of past sins
Into a dreamworld
Within fog shrouded forests of black
No more pain, No more tears
I will be coming back

Repeat Chorus

Solo 5: Kral
