Lost, everything is lost
Everything I've loved before is gone
Alone, like the coming of the frost
And a cold winter's chill in my stony heart
Where were you when all that I've hoped for?
Where you when all that I've dreamed?
Came crashing down in shambles around me?
You were on the cross
Pain, could you take away the pain
If I find someone to blame, would it make my life seem easier?
Alone, all my friends are asleep
And I can't find anyone to stay awake with me
Where were you when sin stole my innocence?
Where were you when I was ashamed?
Hiding in a life I wish I never made
You were on the cross
My God, my God
Alone, alone
You were on the cross
You died for us
Alone, alone
You were on the cross
Victorious.
Oh, alone, oh alone.
You were there in all of my suffering
You were there in doubt and in fear
I'm waiting on the dawn to reappear
