Flights of fancy had my name portrayed
All over the truth where I was meant to be paid
I went through Hell indeed and you know it not
But I am here now and to get here I surely fought

But my power is a power to behold
I can keep you warm or put you out in the cold
So sure I am of my suffering and aim
Nobody knows and neither do I as to when I came

But all that said I have nothing to give away
I can endure anything that comes my way
For I lost everything and gained eternity
No need for anything and nothing is dirty

What I see and how I feel over love’s success
Succeeding in delivering me from death, no less
Not enough fingers to count the times I have been
And I still love you despite all the evil I have seen

Nobody understands the love I have lived over
So I tell it how it is as a determined lover
Instilling hope within for every moment I suffer
Now here I am with something to offer

Would you listen to me if you did not know?
As it is, the answer is absolutely no
For the disconnect here retains the status quo
As you had your chance with me and now I go
