Reversed — Manticora

Come child join me, now thatthe whiskey Has turned me into another man We'll talk and we'll laugh like old times And we'll try to understand

As I see your face, pale and terrified It's a nightmare coming true And believe me daughter, everyday It's a new you I'm talking to

Old Scholar – man of wisdom Take your daughter to Hyperion Now, don't hesitate to come Put a dagger into her heart – let her spirit fly to the sun Let her spirit fly to the sun

How my God can this be true And why, did it happen to you Why do I have to stand helpless by To relive your life too

I come to find upright in bed To remenber all the tears we have shed Don't tell me, coz' I already know I'll let you cry for the twentieth night in a row

I remember you smilling in the sun I recall everything you and I have done To relive it everyday is too hard for me Welcome back little one

I won't hold you back I won't stand between you and destiny There were times when I ignored all the signs I was given But now I have to let go and set you free
