Archetype - Years Ago lyrics

Gone today without a whisper set forth to claim a life lost so many years ago In silence he stares at the sky and waits for a moment of mercy The vision that stands by his side is calling on forces within to reach out alone Sworn to be remembered for the promise he made to keep Fearful of any encounters as they may darken and invade his destiny Captured by fear in the dead of night watching shadows cross the gound Hiding beneath the dim moonlight they speak without a sound I can see why others would never want to dream Take my hand and I will make you believe your time is near The memories arise reliving the moment when her spirit dies A portait burned inside his mind so many years ago And still he wanders on through days of exile leaving fate undone until the time when all can be taken down Where the fires are burning where the innocent fell Forced to the edge by a vastness of fury trading heaven for a glimpse of hell Now that the time has come to relinquish there's no more sorrow to bare Resurrecting the ageless emotion leading onward into this despair Possessed by an image where two souls unite destined to seek and avenge Falling through sorrow concealed in the night when does it finally end Take my hand and I'll lead you onward to a land so far away I alone am the one you follow the only one who sees your pain Her fading image is out there waiting a hearts desire so incomplete As a savior I make this offer to walk on water to set you free Take my dreams I shall believe Years lost in exile have taken their last her fading image found Within an instant the forces strike them down Where the fires are burning where the innocent once fell Forced to the edge by a vastness of fury trading heaven for a glimpse of hell Posessed by an image where two souls unite destined to seek and avenge Rising from darkness to conquer the night never to wander again
