"All The Time" lyrics - JON OLIVA'S PAIN

JON OLIVA'S PAIN
"All The Time"
(Jon Oliva)

I can only stare and wonder
Dreams and visions
That I ponder, so clearly now
There before me, figure in darkness
Rage and anger, cold and heartless
He wants to take me back somehow

I can't take it no more
Tempting fate, my soul awaits its crucifixion
I can't take it no more
The influence imprisons me
With its intrigue, as you can see
A punishment I live out all the time

Something inside me wants to break out
Lies with conviction, leaving no doubt
Hes waiting there
Looks for weakness, tries to persuade me
His certain ending is all that I see
He wants to take me back somehow

I can't take it no more
Tempting fate, my soul awaits its crucifixion
I can't take it no more
The influence imprisons me
With its intrigue, as you can see
A punishment I live out all the time
