You've played this hand, refused to stand
Has dignity dissolved?
How far away I heard you say
In empathy devolved-
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
You can try, you can cry and you always will
I stood here praying I was wrong
You can try, you can cry and you always will
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 if you promise me forever, I know that its in vain.
If silence slips from sacred (God's own) lips
Shall the world un-become.
The tears of saints in blood you paint
A coward's word is none
And with no voice you forfeit choice
And crucify your thoughts
But see a face in tortured grace
Whose eyes belong to God
I stood here waiting for so long
You can try, you can cry and you always will
I stood here praying I was wrong
You can try, you can cry and you always will
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 me forever, won't take away the pain.
Sangrael, sangrael,
A lovers cup before a wishing well
Sangrael, sangrael,
Where all who thirst shall drink
Sangrael, sangrael,
From heavens height to the depth of hell
Sangrael, sangrael,
All who thirst shall drink
Has dignity dissolved?
