| I don’t believe in the existence of mercy’s guiding hand
|
| Not with all that I have witnessed, I cannot understand
|
| Forever burdened with the knowledge that I could have been so much more
|
| When the truth is hard to suffer, I knew this all before
|
| There is no comfort in faith, the heavens still will fall
|
| A thousand towers rise before me and I cannot climb them all
|
| There is no kind of joy in this, there is no time that it can heal
|
| When emptiness and shadows bliss, there is nothing left to feel
|
| I have not abandoned hope, though I know there’s nothing more
|
| Tired and alone, you forget what you have hoped for
|
| I will walk this ground forever
|
| And stand guard against your name
|
| I will give all I can offer
|
| I will shoulder all the blame
|
| I am sentry to you now
|
| All your hopes and all your dreams
|
| I will hold you to the light
|
| That’s what forever means
|
| I was never what you wanted, I could never never please
|
| I swallowed all our sorrow in the midst of my disease
|
| All my fortunes, all my gains, all the battles I have won
|
| Now collapsing like the rain, I stand alone, your only son
|
| Take some solace in these words, take notice of this place
|
| Hollow whispers that they are, like the wind upon my face
|
| Just sing softly in my ear and look at me with wonder
|
| I will try to ease your fear as the darkness pulls you under
|
| I will walk this ground forever
|
| And stand guard against your name
|
| I will give all I can offer
|
| I will shoulder all the blame
|
| I am sentry to you now
|
| All your hopes and all your dreams
|
| I will hold you to the light
|
| That’s what forever means |
