Your beauty is astonishing,
Like sculpted by teeth of time
Yet you hide your sorrow
Behind that beautiful mask
Who's to give you comfort
When you're beaten, bruised yet proud
Nothing can take away this pain
Who's to give you comfort now
When you're beaten, bruised yet proud
Tears of faith
Hang on to hope
Stillborn dreams
Doomed to fail
We are doomed to fail this life
Tears of faith
Hang on to hope
The tears of faith,
Stillborn dreams
Doomed to fail
Like the oldest,
Wisest of women
With beauty of an angel,
Your wings are retracted now
You cover up your body
From the kicks
With the make-up of guilt
And shame you cover up this abuse
Who's to give you comfort
When you're beaten, bruised yet proud
Nothing can take away this pain
Who's to give you comfort now
When you're beaten, bruised yet proud
Tears of faith
Hang on to hope
Stillborn dreams
Doomed to fail
We are doomed to fail this life
Tears of faith
Hang on to hope
The tears of faith,
Stillborn dreams
Doomed to fail
Fading slow astray
(The pain, the shame, the lies)
Hopes now framed in tears
(The pain, the shame, the lies)
Fading slow astray
Hopes now framed in tears
Walk away and don't look back
Leave this world behind, for your sake
Let go of the hitting hand
And walk away
Like sculpted by teeth of time
Yet you hide your sorrow
Behind that beautiful mask
Who's to give you comfort
When you're beaten, bruised yet proud
Nothing can take away this pain
Who's to give you comfort now
When you're beaten, bruised yet proud
Tears of faith
Hang on to hope
Stillborn dreams
Doomed to fail
We are doomed to fail this life
Tears of faith
Hang on to hope
The tears of faith,
Stillborn dreams
Doomed to fail
Like the oldest,
Wisest of women
With beauty of an angel,
Your wings are retracted now
You cover up your body
From the kicks
With the make-up of guilt
And shame you cover up this abuse
Who's to give you comfort
When you're beaten, bruised yet proud
Nothing can take away this pain
Who's to give you comfort now
When you're beaten, bruised yet proud
Tears of faith
Hang on to hope
Stillborn dreams
Doomed to fail
We are doomed to fail this life
Tears of faith
Hang on to hope
The tears of faith,
Stillborn dreams
Doomed to fail
Fading slow astray
(The pain, the shame, the lies)
Hopes now framed in tears
(The pain, the shame, the lies)
Fading slow astray
Hopes now framed in tears
Walk away and don't look back
Leave this world behind, for your sake
Let go of the hitting hand
And walk away
