Lyrics

The Great Despair

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We were flying to the distance

But somehow we lost our way

And the master of indifference

Caught us blind and unaware

Now here comes the great despair

The great despair

How can you speak about deliverance

When we're trapped in hell without a key?

And all those words they told us

Are still lyin' in the air

Here comes the great despair

The great despair

I've been wrapped in chains

My dreams gone up in flames

And you don't even care

Here comes the great despair

In the land of milk and excess

We were flyin' up in the air

But we crashed into this fortress

And now we're broken beyond repair

Here comes the great despair

Here comes the great despair

The great despair

Here comes the great despair

Here comes the great despair
