I don't believe in the existence of mercy's guiding
hand...
Not with all that I have witnessed, I cannot
understand.
Forever burdened with the knowledge that I could have
been so much more
When the truth is hard to suffer, I knew this all
before.
There is no comfort in faith, the heavens still will
fall.
A thousand towers rise before me and I cannot climb
them all.
There is no kind of joy in this, there is no time that
it can heal,
When emptiness enshadows bliss, there is nothing left
to feel.
I have not abandoned hope, though I know there's
nothing more.
Tired and alone, you forget what you hoped for.
I will walk this ground forever
and stand guard against your name.
I will give all I can offer,
I will shoulder all the blame.
I am sentry to you now,
all your hopes and all your dreams.
I will hold you to the light,
that?s what forever means.
I was never what you wanted, I could never never
please.
I swallowed all our sorrow in the midst of my disease.
All my fortunes, all my gains, all the battles I have
won...
Now collapsing like the rain, I stand alone, your only
son...
Take some solace in these words, take notice of this
place.
Hollow whispers that they are, like the wind upon my
face.
Sing softly in my ear and look at me with wonder.
I will try to ease your fear as the darkness pulls you
under.
I will walk this ground forever
and stand guard against your name.
I will give all I can offer,
I will shoulder all the blame.
I am sentry to you now,
all your hopes and all your dreams.
I will hold you to the light,
that?s what forever means.
