Impassioned by a fire
    That only I can see
    Wandering the cold night
    Searching through an empty world
    Forgotten dreams

    Painful pasts gone by
    We leave the foot prints
    Only to have them washed away by time’s tide
    And left again in the sands of history
    Destiny doomed to repeat

    Fated by Life, fated by Death
    Battling my shadow because I watch my back
    Suppose I didn’t have one
    Would I still watch my back?
    Dream forgotten dreams

    Painful pasts gone by
    We leave the foot prints
    Only to have them washed away by time’s tide
    Leaving me lost in the morning mists
    I see no beginning, I see no end

    Life is made a contest
    As if living’s some cheap prize
    I think I may have realized this
    But the memories escape me
    As I wander through the future and the now

    I crossed the seas and changed my sky
    But my heart still feels the same
    I want to know why
    Impassioned by a fire
    Feeling love, feeling pain
    Shattered dreams
