Portrait Lyrics

6.Portrait



It's not him i must 've made a mistake

He's hardly changed from fourty years ago

A trick of light that made me hesitate

I hear this name, i can't believe it's so

Oh no



Can it be so long, so many days gone by

The hands of time have left their mark on me

But ther he stands a memory from my past

He's been untouched by all the passing years



To stay forever young

For the paint to crack and age

If that were so

I'd give my soul



You turn

When you hear me call your name

Don't you remember me

You've learned

To fear what's in the picture frame

You've cheated destiny



For all this sin, for all this lies and hate

Left not a mark, not a single scar to show

But the portrait changed

It's marked his journey through time

It shows the sun of his eternal shame



To stay forever young

For the paint to crack and age

If that were so

I'd give my soul



You turn

When you hear me call your name

Don't you remember me

You've learned

To fear what's in the picture frame

You've cheated destiny



If i knew just what my hands would create

I wish to god i'd never seen his face

But it's not too late

Am i the one to finally seal his fate

I will take his life



You turn

When you hear me call your name

Don't you remember me

You've learned

To fear what's in the picture frame

You've cheated destiny



But it's not too late

I'll take his life

You can't cheat destiny

I'll take his life... (fade)
