Wasted Years Lyrics

Praying Mantis Wasted Years

Deep into my soul
I search for what remains
Once a heart so pure , bad blood now in my veins
wonDering what I ll finD
A world that's changed in line
this man has yet to live , just still a child in time

I believed that things would turn arounD
but hope that faded every day
i survived with madness close behinD
which man did i really betray

I ve tasted death , I d fought anD I'd won
Died for this day ,this day to come

I have waited for this moment in time
I could have cried a thousanD tears
But this freedom now , is all I 'll ever need
Redemption of these wasted years

A Life has passed me by
my youth had been anD gone
the bitterness is deep,it drives me on anD on
in realms of power ,I was the sacrifice
the cheating of innocent,the loaded dice

I believed that things would turn arounD
But hope that faded every day
I survived with madness close behinD
Which man did I really betray

I ve tasted death ,I d fought anD I d won
Died for this day ,this day to come

I have waited for this moment in time
I could have cried a thousanD tears
But this freedom now ,is all I ll ever need
Redemption of these wasted years
