Lyrics

Lost Forever

[Verse 1]

All your life you've been slipping and sliding, trying to find a way

Sun won't shine but now's your time to pay

There's no turning back as you look the hangman in the eye

Now Hell's just your death away

[Chorus]

It's too late to say you care

When there's evil in your stare

You say you're not to blame

In your head, voices mocking every prayer

[Verse 2]

Remember the face you saw that once was you

Spirits high, there's no way that you could lose

Give him rope they said as you look the hangman in the eye

And now around your neck, you feel the noose

[Chorus]

It's too late to say you care

When there's evil in your stare

You say you're not to blame

In your head, voices mocking every prayer

Now you're lost forever

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

I'm burning with fire

It's time to leave and get out

I'm burning in fire

I can't take no more so get out

I'm burning with fire

The wheels of steel will grind you

I'm burning with fire

It's time you're lost forever

[Outro]

Lost forever

There's an evil in your stare

Lost forever

Hell's just a breath away

Lost forever

And there's no way out

You burn with fire

It's time to get out, get out, get out

Lost forever

There's evil in your stare

Lost forever

And there's no turning back

Lost forever

The wheels of steel will grind you

Lost forever

Lost forever

Lost forever...
