Lost in the lights of yester-year.
Holding back, hiding fear.
Looking the captive deep within the eyes.
The world is a falsity, engulfed in lies.
Flash, the lights begin to spark.
Clouds roll in, the world becomes dark.

Lost in the lights of yester-year.
Drowning mine eyes upon a tear.
Wanting a hero, a life to follow.
Looking around, the world becomes hollow.
Ink upon parchment, memories upon stone.
Days fly past, the child has grown.


Lost in the lights of yester-year.
Losing control, grasp the wheel and steer.
The world is spinning,I'm giving in.
I surrender to a lost power, doth men win?
Rain falls down upon mine face.
Walking in a dream, where is my place?

Lost in the lights of yester-year.
The well dried up, not but one tear.
Darkness falls upon the darkest night.
Hearts surrender, giving up the fight.
Who is my captive, a King or a Pharaoh?
Pull from mine quiver a silver arrow.

Lost in the lights of yester-year.
Where is emotion, mine biggest fear?
A pain, a twinge, flowing crimson.
Not only this blood, deep metallic crimson.
Warmth of comfort fades away.
Longing for the comforts of yester-year.

Where are those comforts of yester-year?
Hast mine life faded away?
Lost in the lights of yester-year.
Feeling the light of angels draw near.
Lost in the shimmer of headlights, lost in a fender.
Life quickly fading, one last breath... I surrender.
