Temnere - Not This Time

from SpinTunes #15 Round 2 by Spintunes

lyrics

come back alive
doomed now to live this life once more
for countless times i have been reborn

repeat, revive
bound through this curse forevermore
another try to even up the score

in life i left my debts unpaid
my karmic bed unlaid
in, keeping to myself
room for no one else

this time ill do right
i swear i've seen the light again
god i'm trying

an open mind
an open heart to bear before
the ones ive loved, the ones i long ignored

and so ill ride against the sea
of selfish tendency
to prove my own embetterment
show my sentiment

eons spent in search
each time i'm stuck behind again
not this time

now that i've found you you must know
the thanks i've never shown
a hundred lifetimes of regret
i hadn't learned my lesson yet

now i see the truth
my good i owe to you my friends
and i'm sorry
