Faced It Alone (From Cradle To Grave)

Born in the shadows

Cradle of fire

A scream in the void

Life's one desire

Eyes full of wonder

But the path so cold

A story begun

A tale to be told

On my own

I carve the stone

Serving the throne

No hand to hold

Time claws my flesh

The winds are blown

From cradle to grave

I'll die alone

Steps grow heavy

The journey unfolds

Carrying burdens

Secrets untold

A soldier in silence

No banners raised

Alone in the fight

Through long

Dark days

Whispers of ghosts

Echoes of time

No savior comes for this heart of mine

Walk on needles

Bleeding sky above

The price we pay for freedom and love

On my own

I carve the stone

Serving the throne

No hand to hold

Time claws my flesh

The winds are blown

From cradle to grave

I'll die alone

Sunset creeping

The end is near

No mourners come

No candle's tear

I lived in shadows

But I stood tall

A fleeting life from cradle to grave

I’ve faced it all along
