It's not him I must 've made a mistake He's hardly changed from fourty years ago A trick of light that made me hesitate I hear this name, I can't believe it's so Oh no
Can it be so long, so many days gone by The hands of time have left their mark on me But ther he stands a memory from my past He's been untouched by all the passing years
To stay forever young For the paint to crack and age If that were so I'd give my soul
You turn When you hear me call your name Don't you remember me You've learned To fear what's in the picture frame You've cheated destiny
For all this sin, for all this lies and hate Left not a mark, not a single scar to show But the portrait changed It's marked his journey through time It shows the sun of his eternal shame
To stay forever young For the paint to crack and age If that were so I'd give my soul
You turn When you hear me call your name Don't you remember me You've learned To fear what's in the picture frame You've cheated destiny
If I knew just what my hands would create I wish to god I'd never seen his face But it's not too late Am I the one to finally seal his fate I will take his life
You turn When you hear me call your name Don't you remember me You've learned To fear what's in the picture frame You've cheated destiny
But it's not too late I'll take his life You can't cheat destiny I'll take his life... (fade)
