My faithful companion  I've lost my way once again  A prisoner of darkness  I let you down my friend    The time has come to testify  All the feelings I've been holding back    How many times must a man fall down  How many dreams have to fall to the ground  Maybe I was born to wander  I have no high hopes any longer    So tell me my friend  Just where does it end  Will nothing free me  From this hell I'm living in    I cannot blame myself anymore  I've been beaten and accused before  Well I took some bad advice  And I paid too high a price    How can some people have the nerve  Hell hasn't frozen but it's on the verge  It has gone way past the point of greed  How many life times shall we need  How many times must a man fall down  How many dreams have to fall to the ground  Is nothing ever gonna free me  From this hell I'm living in    Why so much pain  I cry for forgiveness  I'm a destitude man  Who still remains    It's so hard to explain  Before I leave this world    The time has come to testify  All the feelings I've been holding back  It's time - to set them free  It's time - to set them free    I cannot blame myself anymore  I've been beaten and accused before  Well I took some bad advice  And I paid t oo high a price
