Will It Take a Lifetime? - Elm Street

A life full of regret takes a lifetime to forget

Left to my throne no queen by my side

The laughing joker my conquest denied

Sitting I wonder of what could have been

Mind’s eye takes a journey back to the scene

All odds against me back to the wall

The deeper she stares the harder I fall

Remaining hopeful the second dance

The devil’s playground grants no second chance

Another memory scarred

Left feeling anxious with a wound that shatters within

Woah-oah-oah, woah-oah-oah

Will it be like this forever?

Woah-oah-oah, woah-oah-oah

Would it be different if we were together?

I lay dethroned cold in my cell

Wrapped in the chains of her undying spell

These test and trials a mountain to climb

The hammer meets oak and echoes through time

My ghosts that linger prepare to deceive

Their haunting whispers I want to believe

The widow’s trophy curtains unfold

Deaf ears render this saga untold

Another memory scarred

Left to pick up the pieces alone

I’m broken

A life full of regret takes a lifetime to forget

Will it take a lifetime?
