HammerFall – And Yet I Smile lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come inside, let's stay a while
As the misty morning kiss the sky
I have for you a fairy tale
Untold, unspoken
Words I said and deeds I've done
With foolish pride I have touched the sun
Some things I did, I apologize
Ooh, I'm sorry

[Refrain]
Not for the things that they made me do
Only for the times I failed to see them through
In the end, we only will regret
The things we did not do
This message to you

[Verse 2]
When life will end, we do not know
My time is here, I gotta go
I tread the path of no return
To find my purpose
I walk through life, my spirit's high
'Cause I am me, that's my battle cry
Bruised and scarred, that's who I am
Ooh, I remember

[Pre-Chorus]
Stars was aligned and the sky adorned
Winter came on the night that I was born
And I knew right there at the start
That this is my life
I'll stand the test of time

[Chorus]
My star cannot shine
Without darkness around
Even though I've been scarred for life
I must fight to reconcile
And yet I smile, I'm alive

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
My star cannot shine
Without darkness around
Even though I've been scarred for life
I must fight to reconcile
And yet I smile, I'm alive

[Chorus]
My star cannot shine
Without darkness around
Even though I've been scarred for life
I must fight to reconcile
And yet I smile, I'm alive
