A Thousand Years Gone By

by Diabla


A thousand years gone by
I've lived them all, you've been entombed
A thousand years gone by
All beneath a cold, hard moon
A thousand years ago
They took my clan, my home and you
A thousand years go by
I'm not the one you thought you knew

You always were the weak one
Tho physically so strong
You say that I'm the one who changed
Wish I could prove you wrong
But look before you leap this time
And listen to my side
A thousand years alone, my love
My heart withered and died

A thousand years gone by
Now I'm no Angel of the Night
A thousand years gone by
What is wrong now feels so right
A thousand years ago
I'd never dream what I live for now
A thousand years go by
And you've the nerve to ask me "How?"

The secrets we once shared
Forgotten long ago
You said "Now and forever"
Forever's come and gone
Please listen to your mind for once
Your heart is always wrong
When you said you and I were one
You didn't mean this long

A thousand years gone by
All I have left are my tears
A thousand years gone by
Long abolished are all fears
A thousand years ago
A Hunter chose me as his Prey
A thousand years go by
He Hunts me to this very day

You think you're tired of hiding
Do it for a thousand years
You've ne'er been rent limb from limb
Just to waken with a sneer
The pain, it is eternal
And ever it shall burn
But you know as well as I
That I shall never learn

A thousand years gone by
I wonder was it worth the pain?
A thousand years gone by
I look back, hiding shame
A thousand years ago
I lost a love and gained a life
A thousand years go by
In a world so filled with strife

Just want someone to love me
To hold me in his arms
Is it too much to ask of you
To keep me safe from harm?
If I scream out for help
Will you rush to my aid?
Or will you turn your back again
And laugh, as I am slayed?

A thousand years gone by
The truth be knownst to you
A thousand years gone by
I see now what you said is true
A thousand years ago
I thought that I knew best
A thousand years go by
Haunted, ne'er to rest

I know you can't forgive me
I'd never ask you now
But must you for'er haunt me
And always ask me "How?"
I know you'll never love me
The way I thought you could
But I know you can't hate me
I knew you never would

A thousand years gone by
A dogged time abroad
A thousand years gone by
'Gainst a face so casu'lly clawed
A thousand years ago
A clan I had to feed
A thousand years go by
Hunted for my need

A whisper never tells lies
Why listen to my heart?
Why heed when my heart cries
'T'll just drive us far apart
I can't tell you that I'm sorry
You know I never will
But you should know I mean it
When I say I will not kill

A thousand years gone by
A quiet time of fear
A thousand years gone by
The voices I still hear
A thousand years ago
I made a grave mistake
A thousand years go by
But you I ne'er forsaked

I thought you could see I was right
I thought you would believe
I planned it for a million nights
So I wouldn't have to grieve
Yes, it's true I loved you
Loved you for a thousand years
But you didn't see my plans through
You fulfilled my greatest fears

A thousand years gone by
All it took was a few words
A thousand years gone by
From words you never heard
A thousand years ago
I was tainted with regret
A thousand years go by
Your Night Angel is dead.
