[Composition: Holopainen, Esa] I never wanted I never wanted to be born Into this cruel world Into this cruel world I was torn Left behind with grief Lacerated by life Shackled into caves of grieves From an union From an union of force and fear Arose my kin Arose my kin enslaved In hopelessness In hopelessness and suspicion The seed of eternal tomorrow I was born a captive A captive of the night In between
Hopeless days I was born on sleet On sleet covered roads I've been driven by howling winds A beggar, a drifter A refugee from my own life And a companion Companion of the ghostly lights But still they came They found the way to get to me They beckoned me to follow I was born a captive A captive of the night In between Hopeless days I was born on sleet On sleet covered roads I've been driven by howling winds
