I stand by my side, and ask myself why
They've drained my spirits
My life's empire, my soul and pride
What's next? Have I been left behind?
I'll see you tonight
In these dreams of mine
I'm way up high
Still my being's confined
I've paid for your crime, the one who took my wife
And kept her spirit
Found guilty by my peers, and after eighteen years
With no chance to find what happened to this love of mine
And I ask why
Have I been guilty all this time
I'll see her tonight
In these dreams of mine
I'm way up high
Still my being's confined
And after all this time
Still I wonder why
Then wait for the night
When I can die
I've been forgotten and left to die
A victim of corruption, fictitious lies
Yet in a world fueled by criminal minds
Still I ask myself why
