Wasted Years - Praying Mantis
Written by：Chris Troy/Tino Troy
Deep into my soul
I search for what remains
Once a heart so pure bad blood now in my veins
Wondering what I'll find
A world that's changed in line
This man has yet to live just still a child in time
I believed that things would turn around
But hope that faded every day
I survived with madness close behind
Which man did I really betray
I've tasted death I'd fought and I'd won
Died for this day this day to come
I have waited for this moment in time
I could have cried a thousand tears
But this freedom now is all I'll ever need
Redemption of these wasted years
A life has passed me by
My youth had been and gone
The bitterness is deep it drives me on and on
In realms of power I was the sacrifice
The cheating of the innocent the loaded dice
I believed that things would turn around
But hope that faded every day
I survived with madness close behind
Which man did I really betray
I've tasted death I'd fought and I'd won
Died for this day this day to come
I have waited for this moment in time
I could have cried a thousand tears
But this freedom now is all I'll ever need
Redemption of these wasted years
I have waited for this moment in time
I could have cried a thousand tears
But this freedom now is all I'll ever need
Redemption of these wasted years
I have waited for this moment in time
I could have cried a thousand tears
But this freedom now is all I'll ever need
Redemption of these wasted years
