Reversed Lyrics - Manticora

["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
