Outside the walls years ago, long before the loss
It rained that day when I first laid my eyes upon hatred
Just by the look in his eyes I saw the prophecy
I knew that he knew that we all could see
But I was the lunatic in the eyes of the world
No one listened to the weak mans poetry
Through the window I gaze and I meet the eyes of my queen
glimpse of beauty to feed my broken heart

I faded to the ground like so many times before
The way that he looked at her told me everything
But I'm just a weird old man, what could I have done
So I retreated into my own insanity

Cold shivers from the sight of his eyes
This was the night when it all went down the line
Cold sweat from the [bad word] thoughts of you and him
I lost my breath and it all went down the line
Darkness swept in and held me to the [bad word] ground
I am so sorry that I was weak and let you down on this day of betrayal

Daddy's little girl in the hands of a beast of man
I had a feeling that something was wrong so long before
I never meant to do you wrong
I never meant for hope to be gone

I faded to the ground like so many times before
The way that he looked at her told me everything
But I'm just a weird old man, what could I have done
So I retreated into my own insanity

Cold shivers from the sight of his eyes
This was the night when it all went down the line
Cold sweat from the [bad word] thoughts of you and him
I lost my breath and it all went down the line
Darkness swept in and held me to the [bad word] ground
I am so sorry that I was weak and let you down on this day of betrayal
