I've seen the pain before Teardrops in their eyes Others that we've torn To take away their pride I've felt the pain before Tearing skin and bone To evil we conform Weakness we have known Feel the Pain I've heard the pain before Another hollow tie To escape the cold Whisperer of good-bye I've held the pain before The agony en masse Melting arms to mourn The beauty of the past When I see the darkness below me I hear the weeping of the damned My spirit flies from the shadows Into the forest that we share Never shall the winds betray me Only you will know me as I am I turn from the eyes of winter And cast away the burden that I bear... I've seen the pain before circling our laughs Like vultures whom we scorn In the vengeance of our wrath But somewhere in the black Crystal hearts adorn The wings of yeaterday So I can be reborn"
