So the day has finally come
With my past I've drawn the sum
And I'm glad I'm moving on

Lost in un-returning time
Let the winter chill my prime
But I'm done, I'm moving on

Looking back can help you through
But I wonder if that's true
I don't wanna have to stake it
Ohhh
Maybe sorrow is my gain
And I'm learning from the pain
But I'm ready to move on

Coz the moment's high
And my tears have dried
And I feel
Show myself in flame and steel

Coz the moment's nigh
And I'm out to try
This is real
Clad myself in flame and steel

Yeah, you'll be invited
If you're willing to show your hand
Love is requited

Yeah, you'll be invited
If you're willing to show your hand
Love is requited

Lost in un-returning time
Let the winter chill my prime
But I'm done, I'm moving on

Maybe sorrow is my gain
And I'm learning from the pain
But I'm ready to move on

Coz the moment's high
And my tears have dried
And I feel

Show myself in flame and steel
Coz the moment's nigh
And I'm out to try
This is real
Clad myself in flame and steel

Yeah, you'll be invited
If you're willing to show your hand
Love is requited

Yeah, you'll be invited
If you're willing to show your hand
Love is requited
