Forever Last

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
