Lyrics

Another night of restless sleep, a life I chose to lead
Dream of harsh reality, a vision of your life you see
House of fire; the price you pay for a broken family
The anger that burns inside, you still can't set it free
Struggle for your sanity, betrayed and left alone
No one to reach out to, for you to call your own
You want to end this life of hell, to free your heart of stone
In self-digrace, the human race, the streets become your home

Day and night are now the same as winter falls and feeds the pain
Do you think that you're to blame for the life they chose to lead
The cards were dealt for them to play in a game of life and death
They lost their lives, misguided fortune, there's nothing for you now
Darkness settles over you, only memories breed more pain
Molded from the grinding stone, you live your life in vain
Blackened scarfs that remain alive, you cover with your guise
Time to live, time to die, which will you decide?

Chorus:
Misguided fortune
A life they did not choose to lead
Misguided fortune
No one to guide you in this insanity
Misguided fortune
You paid a price for their fatal mistake
Misguided fortune
This is not how they wanted it to be..

House of fire, a price well paid, a life now yours to lead
You released the pain from inside, before it drained your life
You came to terms, you weren't to blame for their decisions now are yours
The mask is gone, no more to hide, the face of fate you kept inside
Against the odds you stayed alive, to rebuild this fatal mess
The life in vain that sucked you in is fading with the past
You found a home, security, the strength that you desired
To live your life long prophecy, your chance to kill the fire

[Repeat chorus]
