Dream Theater - Lost Not Forgotten Lyrics

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
