Apocalyptica - Betrayal / Forgiveness Lyrics

[Music and lyrics by Perttu Kivilaakso]

All that I ever wanted
To understand my nightmares
Possesed by my fears
Betrayed by my Pride
Alone I wandered in the deepest Dark
Seeking comfort from the vanity
Each time I escaped the Real
My soul died, died a bit more
Confronting the evil within
Praying for my angel to appear
Agonized whisper into the emptiness
Begging for salvation-salvation for this cursed mind
Words without meaning
Touch without feeling
I do not recognize my own face
Eyes that were once shining
Now extinguished
Left only a silent cold
Sound of a tear falling down
In the desperate hour of loneliness
This shattered heart reaching
For it's relief-the relief it can not find
Glance without affection
Kiss without sensitivity
Promise without comprehension
Love without hope
I do not remember my own tale..
Betrayed by my Anger
Betrayed by my Delusions
Betrayed by my Lust
(I wish)
Strenght-to be released from my demons
(I desire)
Wisdom-to forgive the Past
...to forgive me
