Lyrics
Like a pendant on the neck of a queen

Ten thousand scars, an embrace of the stone

As we dance on a steady canopy

Accuse me, fool me, take all my pain away

My friend singing my final song of honor

Betrayed but still I never came around to open my mind

[CHORUS:] I was torn by the storms in my head

Like a victim of fate

Born to regret

Still denied by the spirits of hell

A call to repent

'Til the visions still stand in silence like a shadow

Like a martyr that is nowhere to be seen

Ten thousand stars I've prayed for (have prayed for the calm)

As we drift on this neverending sea

Clear me, keep me, take all my pain away, my friend

singing my final song of glory

Betrayed but still I finally came around and opened my eyes

[CHORUS:] I was torn by the storms in my head

Like a victim of fate

Born to regret

Still denied by the spirits of hell

A call to repent

'Til the visions still stand in silence like a shadow

Like a shadow

[Solo]

Torn by the thorns in my head

Like a victim of violence

A call to repent

Denied by the spirits of heaven

Take me up again to the music of dawn

[CHORUS:] I was torn by the storms in my head

Like a victim of fate

Born to regret

Still denied by the spirits of hell

A call to repent

'Til the visions still stand like a shadow
