[intro] Awake in sheets of white, it's like a second birth, Back in a time and place not of this earth, In a simulation, I fell into the fray, In a memory that's not even mine, lost in yesterday. [Verse 1] Didn't even notice, faces that seemed so clear, My parents standing before me, their joy is so sincere. A happiness so deep it's hard to even blink, But I know there's a war outside, it makes my heart sink. [Chorus] Gripped into a realm of joy, a world I wanna keep, Yet haunted by the knowledge, that war doesn't sleep. Done so much for me, lives given in my name, To shield the mother I longed for, from despair and pain. [Bridge] Hope seems to slip, like water through a leak, [Verse 2] Then with a stinging hand, reality unleashes its wrath, These unknown memories echo, down a forgotten path. Driven by anger, delusion becomes my new ally, Dreams twist into nightmares, beneath an unreal sky. Yeah! Fear takes over like a shadow, no place where you can hide. Oh no! [Chorus] Gripped into a realm of joy, a world I wanna keep, Yet haunted by the knowledge, that war doesn't sleep. Done so much for me, lives given in my name, To shield the mother I longed for, from despair and pain. [Bridge] Burdened with a borrowed past, a reality I can't trust, In a world that's not my own, but leave it now, I must. In a world of false tranquility, I wished to stay, But the truth of war's reality, has a starker say, Always the echo of screams, brings me back to reality. Oh-ohh oh-ohh oh-ohh oh-ohh [Chorus] Gripped into a realm of joy, a world I wanna keep, Yet haunted by the knowledge, that war has never sleep. They done so much for me, lives given in my name, To shield the mother I waited for far too long, from despair and pain. [Verse 3] I awoke from the snow, back in reality's grip, These unknown memories, from my grasp they slip. From a dream that became a nightmare, in the echoes of despair! [Breakdown] Back in the world of the living, the echoes of war I bear, strangled and betrayed by happiness, Delusion and anger has corrupt me. Has corrupt me...

[Verse] Lost in shadows Void's embrace Echoes calling No safe place Eyes of sorrow Stars align Path to dawn The end we find [Verse 2] Winds are howling Heartbeats clash Dreams of silence Whispers thrash Fallen worlds Forgotten fears Fragments guide through endless tears [Chorus] Homeward bound Through fire and frost Restless spirits Seeking lost Light in darkness Bleed and roam Journey ends We find our home [Verse 3] Tears like rivers Paths untold Celestial maps Threads of gold Ghosts of past In moonlight's gleam Through the storm Pursue the dream [Bridge] Screams of nighttime Shattered hope Memories fade On ashes cope Veins of steel Through pain's demand Hand in hand The final stand [Chorus] Homeward bound Through fire and frost Restless spirits Seeking lost Light in darkness Bleed and roam Journey ends We find our home
