Once in a Lifetime (Extended) Lyrics

It 's getting dark... too soon... a threatening silence...
Surrounding me... a wind comes up from the islands...
Distance fades to stormy grey
Washed out from the deep of the ocean
Here I will stand to face your wrath...
While all the others are prayingCalm down my heart... don 't beat so fast...
Don 't be afraid just once in a lifetime
No rain can wash away my tears
No wind can soothe my painYou made me doubt, you made me fear
But now I 'm not the same
You took my wife, my unborn son...
Torn into the deep of the oceanI don 't pretend that I love you
'Cause there is nothing left to looseAnd when silence comes back to me
I find myself feeling lonely
Standing here on the shores of destiny
I find myself feeling lonelyI had a life to give... many dreams to live...
Don 't you know that you 're losing so much this time
Beyond the waves... I will be free

While all the others are prayingCalm down my heart...The love in you, it does not burn,
There is no lesson you can learn
And there are sounds you cannot hear,
And there are feelings you can 't feelCalm down my heart... don 't beat so fast...
Don 't be afraid just once in a lifetimeI don 't pretend that I love you
And this time I 'm not scared of you
