Praying Mantis - Cruel Winter

Call in the dark........Call in the dark

The eye's were lost in anger
The mind had found its fare
To escape this life of fury
There was nothing more to hear
A sentence of extremity
A challenge one too much
Maybe I was no believer
But how I feared your fateful touch

Past and present what do you see
Escaping to my history
Searching for reasons searching for light
Still within my longest night

How can your world still keep on turning
How can you see when your visions,
They're all gone
The cold in the heart the loneliness
Longs for tomorrow
In this winter so cruel

A quest for our survival
We do the things we must
When life becomes the hunter
Your very soul you may not trust
It all seems so familiar
I was there just yesterday
No escaping from reality
Retribution has no say

Past and present what do you see
Escaping to my history
Searching for reasons searching for light
Still within my longest night

How can your world still keep on turning
How can you see when your visions,
They're all gone
The cold in the heart the loneliness
Longs for tomorrow
In this winter so cruel, this winter so long
