When nothing could be done 
To salvage what was lost 
The chosen one 
A victim of passion 
He feels the hate rise up 
A war that can't be won 
The mourning son 
Survives through disaster 
The soul that suffered 

All that's left behind 
Is a memory that fades 
Like a rope around your neck 
Binds you to a resting place 
And the price that I have paid 
When I watched you pass away 
Is the everlasting pain 
And a memory that fades away 

When all he had was gone 
A place we once belonged 
The chosen one 
Finds an existence 
Second coming life 
Daylight pushes on 
The mourning son 
No longer a victim 

All that's left behind is a memory that fades 
Like a rope around your neck 
Binds you to a resting place 
And the price that I have paid 
When I watched you pass away 
Is the everlasting pain 
And a memory that fades away 

The soul that suffered sleeps tonight 
In the ashes of his demons 
Demons 
Daylight holds no salvation 
From this labyrinth of desolation 
The fiery hells in his mind
Will burn to the ground in time 
All that's left behind 

Is a memory that fades 
Like a rope around your neck
Binds you to a resting place 
And the price that I have paid 
When I watched you pass away 
Is the everlasting pain 
And a memory that fades away
