You've played this hand, refused to stand
How far away I heard you say
You cast your heart two worlds apart
and lost sight of your soul
But the sun will rise with cleaner eyes
That you pretend to know...
I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.
You said that we could last forever,
You said that we could last forever,
I know, within your soul, the light
But if you promise me forever,
I know that it's in vain.
If silence slips from sacred lips
Shall the world un-become.
The tears of saints in blood you paint
And with no voice you forfeit choice
and crucify your thoughts
But see a face in tortured grace
Whose eyes belonged to God
I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
but now a promise of forever, won't take away the pain.
A lovers cup before a wishing well
Where all who thirst shall drink
From heavens height to the depths of hell
All who thirst shall drink
I stood here waiting for so long
I stood here praying I was wrong.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights trough the rain
But if you promise me forever, I know that it's in vain.
You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights through the rain
but now a promise of forever, won't take away the pain. More from The Cruxshadows
