&quot;Cherish the moment. Tower the skies. Don&#039;t let the dreamer fade to gray like grass.&quot;<br /> -Tuomas Holopainen


Child of imperfection,
A man of many flaws,
Bearer of the mark of shame,
My name brings nothing but disgrace.

I am a fallen angel,
My wings were ripped off long ago.
A dark past lies behind me,
And I’ve wandered a twisted road.

I made mistakes in my past,
My promises weren’t meant to last.
Yet I must recover from the fall.
To achieve my dreams I must reverse it all.

Somehow, tonight
I will rinse the blood off of my hands.
No longer hide in shadows,
Be reborn a different man.
At dawn I’ll fly
Towards the palace of the king.
The past is all behind me now.
Tonight I shall regain my wings.

I see a light in the distance,
Redemption seems so far away.
I wonder if I’ll make it there.
I sense many tests that lie in store for me.
I made mistakes in my past,
My promises weren’t meant to last.
Yet I must recover from the fall.
To achieve my dreams I must reverse it all.

Somehow, tonight
I will rinse the blood off of my hands.
No longer hide in shadows,
Be reborn a different man.
At dawn I’ll fly
Towards the palace of the king.
The past is all behind me now.
Tonight I shall regain my wings.

Here at the altar I lay down my sins.
Alone I fall down,
and a new chapter of my life begins.
My wings grow back, and I’ve wanted nothing more.
With one more cry, I wipe my eye,
And towards the sky I soar.

Somehow, tonight
I’ve rinsed the blood off of my hands.
Turned away from shadows,
Been reborn a different man.
At dawn I fly
From the palace of the king.
The past is all behind me now.
Tonight I have regained my wings.
