The shadow cast by my former life Reminds me of the things I've lost What price can you put on time? What's the cost? Know that I'll never succumb To the nightmare Years pass in the blink of an eye I've kept my claim I'm still here Standing firm, no way of breaking I know the risk, it's not worth taking Vision's clear from what I've seen in my past This fantasy was not meant to last Standing firm to the claim that I've kept I've stopped following years ago I am my own man I stopped following years ago Not going back again Don't ask me to explain myself I don't expect you to understand Straight Edge I'm still here
