Who Am I ? lyrics

Who am I

To stand and wonder, to wait

While the wheels of fate

Slowly grind my life away.

Who am I ?

There were some things that I loved one time,

But the dreams are gone I thought were mine,

And the hidden tears that once could fall

Now burn inside at the thought of all

The years of waste, the years of crime

Passions of a heart so blind;

To think that, but even still

As I stand exposed, the feelings are felt

And I cry into the echo of my loneliness.

Who am I

To stand and wonder, to wait

While the wheels of fate

Slowly grind my life away.

Who am I ?

What a nothing I've made of life

The empty words, the coward's plight

To be pushed and passed from hand to hand

Never daring to speak, never daring to stand

And the emptiness of my family's eyes

Reminds me over and over of lies

And promises and deeds undone

And now again I want to run

But now there is nowhere to run to.

Who am I

To stand and wonder, to wait

While the wheels of fate

Slowly grind my life away.

Who am I ?

And now my friend we meet again

We shall see which one will bend

Under the strain of death's golden eyes

Which one of us shall win the prize

To live and which one will die

'Tis I, my friend, yes 'tis I

Shall kill to live again and again

To clutch the throat of sweet revenge

For life is here only for the taking.

Who am I

To stand and wonder, to wait

While the wheels of fate

Slowly grind my life away.

Who am I ? Who am I ?
