Lost Not Forgotten

I am not immortal I am just a man A power-craving tyrant Beyond the shadows in the sand Men have come to fear me Many bow and cry Known across the desert I am the one who will not die I have faced the demons of our most desperate moments I have been the one to defend our pride I have worn the banner of my abandoned brothers I will be the first one to give my life Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the gods Leading the empire Spirit as black as coal Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul An epic novel no one's read Pages torn and faded The greatest story never told Behold the kingdom I possess Land of wealth and beauty Where the streets are paved with gold Once fearless and brave A realm passed away The ghosts of yesterday Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the gods Leading the empire Spirit as black as coal Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the gods Leading the empire Brutal and heartless Vanishing further Into the darkness Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul --- Lost Not Forgotten - Dream Theater
