Higher Than Hope
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.
Time, it took the most of me
And left me with no key
To unlock the chest of remedy
Mother, the pain ain't hurting me
But the love that I feel
When you hold me near
The hopes were high
The choirs were vast
Now my dreams are left to live through you
Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Passiontide
An angel by my side
But no Christ to end this war
To deliver my soul from the sword
Hope has shown me a scenery
Paradise poetry
With first snow I'll be gone
The hopes were high
The choirs were vast
Now my dreams are left to live through you
Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red Sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies
I just would like to think that... not why it happened to me
But why was I saved?
What else could I do now?
Your death saved me
Being in the dark about something, I can't even tell you how scary it is
You don't know what's inside, you don't know what's going to happen to you
And the best way to put somebody at ease is to inform them
Even if it's the grim truth
Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red Sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies
Red Sun rising
Drown without inhaling
Within, the dark holds hard
Red Sun rising
Curtain falling
Higher than hope my cure lies
