Ancient Mastery - Shadow of the Past

I call upon you to leave me be, to not awaken the deep dark sea
But your demons keep haunting me and no atonement will set me free
One fine day i'll make my peace with you
But this day may take ages to dawn

In the night I hear you calling me
In my dreams I can't seem to find the key
Am I cursed or am I redeemed?
Shadow of the past, please release me

We fought the hardest battles and conquered worlds unknown
I never thought one, I'll face the trials alone
My biggest weakness, my strongest faith
Lies there within the ashes of my line of fate

On wings of destiny towards the end
Through skies of blood & sweat & tears I will descend
Down to the depths of hell, into the dark
Where the shadows dwell, I bear the mark

To reach the point of no return, I will no longer live to yearn
This is the way to go, this is the time
Please forgive me, but my fate is mine

In the night I hear you calling me
In my dreams I can't seem to find the key
Am I cursed or am I redeemed?
Shadow of the past, please release me
