Hammeta - Old Songs Lyrics

He was a man of love and devotion
Now he lives in the shadows of his past
He was born for a better situation
He lived for God but was cast to the devil's hands

Well, we'll play the old songs
And I hope it will keep you strong
They say you'll be long gone at the break of dawn

They say he lives on borrowed time
The life he's led committed by fate's cruelty
He was a painter but he never saw the signs
Forgetting who he was and who he was growing to be

Well, we'll play the old songs
And I hope it will keep you strong
They say you'll be long gone at the break of dawn

He took me by the hand and asked me why
His God would neglect and throw him aside
When we wept I said you're not forgotten by me
He said life comes hard but death can be so easy

Well, we'll play the old songs
And I hope it will keep you strong
But you'll be long gone at the break of dawn

I will never forget you my friend
Cause I heard that you got your wish in the end

And well I played the old songs
And I hoped it would keep you strong
But you've been long gone since the break of dawn
