Heart of the Night

Here I tread alone again
Stayed too long with my regret
I walk the road
Although the path is set

I hear a voice upon the wind
A distant sound so paper thin
It haunts my mind
The things that could have been

Still I wait searching for the past to find me
Still I stand knowing that I must atone
I will fight hoping I can break the fall
I may not be the monster after all

In time, memories erode
A heart will turn to stone
Not every fate is sewn
Together till the end

I hear the whisper in the night
Pulling me towards the light
Is this where our path begins?

When destiny takes hold
What will you do? Where will you go?
The road you traveled isn't paved with gold
The stories told
And the heart of the night takes another
You know it's there, you hear their call
But how will you ensure that they won't fall
Against the wall
And the heart of the night takes another

I was the line against danger's unknown
But this battle is wearing me thin
I saw the signs of a world over thrown
Of a dark descending

But there is no one, no one beside me
No one who can see what I see
I held on, held on
But I can feel it slipping

Now I see where this path has led
As one starts, another ends

When destiny takes hold
What will you do? Where will you go?
The road you traveled isn't paved with gold
The stories told
And the heart of the night takes another
You know it's there, you hear their call
But how will you ensure that they won't fall
Against the wall
And the heart of the night takes another

What will you do? Where will you go?
The road you traveled takes you far from home
In the heart of the night
We'll find a way towards the day
That's shining brighter than the stars above
Not giving up
Won't let the heart of the night take another

Won't let the heart of the night take another
Won't let the heart of the night take another

I can't wait knowing that the past has found me
Here I stand knowing that the time has come
I will fight knowing I can break the fall
I may not be the monster after all
