I've been here for
|
a million years
|
it's only been
|
the twinkling of an eye
|
this dark, this pain
|
it's so unbearing
|
fire consumes
|
the tears I cry
|
I never thought
|
of pain so drawn out
|
screams and gnashing
|
all surround me
|
over and over
|
I keep remembering
|
I must bear this
|
through eternity
|
|
(chorus)
|
this howl
|
I can't turn away
|
this howl
|
keeps droning through my mind
|
this howl
|
consumes my every thought and emotion
|
this howl
|
keeps droning on through time
|
|
I cannot bear
|
this isolation
|
where have all
|
of my friends gone?
|
this supposed to be
|
the best time of my life
|
my fate has shown me
|
I was wrong...
|
|
I hear his voice every second in time,
|
"depart from me you accursed one
|
I never knew you"
|
|
Jesus, please forgive me
|
I'm ready to accept you now
|
but how I know
|
you will not hear me
|
I had my chance
|
I turned it down
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
(repeat words after first chorus)
