Manticora - Reversed lyrics

["The loss of a day, through the length of a night"]

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
