When you were young
A fugitive always on the run
Washing your hands in blood
Looking for the danger
Sleeping with a fallen angel; stranger
Open up your arms and don't ever let me go
[Chorus:]
Hold me, hold me
All the tears in my eyes are real
You are the only one
Won't you tell me how it feels to live a lie?
Save me, save me
I'm bastard son
And I'll never let you go [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/astral_doors/bastard_son.html ]
The days are my nights
Your shadow will always be around
Keep me from the gun
What's your contribution?
Life is just a grand illusion; dreaming
Don't wake me up
There's so much for me to lose
[Chorus:]
Hold me, hold me
All the tears in my eyes are real
You are the only one
Won't you tell me how it feels to live a lie?
Save me, save me
I'm bastard son
And now I'm coming home
Did you try to do the right
Did you put up a fight for your own child?
I was born to this world and I won't live forever
[Lead: J. Nordlund]
[Chorus]
Bastard son
I'm the bastard son and now I'm coming home
I'm the bastard son
