Lyrics


 Is it me this time? Am I too far? Did I cross that line? Getting hard to tell

Different day and another wall Order shifts tumbles down Standing strong with your sacred line With your cold sacred line

Jealous mind unfolds I forgive all Ring of gold, it shines I refuse to fall

Standing still in this rocky boat Shakes my mind, takes its toll Something lost is now found again I return to my soul

This line that can't be broken This line that never will be crossed again In time, we'll be forgiven This line affected by the innocent

Opposite of what you hear Dying is the least of fear

Can't give up We have come too far to ever turn away We have fear to swallow

And you can't let go Be prepared for anything There's something wrong And the worst is yet to come

This line that can't be broken This line that never will be crossed again In time, we'll be forgiven This line affected by the innocent

This line that can't be broken This line that never will be crossed again In time, we'll be forgiven This line affected by the innocent

Murdered by another lie When you cross that sacred line
