you told me the sun would always rise and if it shouldn't shine have faith 'cause one day that great burning star's light one once again dance across my face
I heard the roar of the parting seas and the mourning of a blackened sun I saw the last flower wither away when our flesh turned to stone I felt the frigid blood in my veins grow still like winter's paralyzed streams as the soil beneath our feet gave way to iron and asphalt dreams
when nighttime stars flicker with grief and despair and dusk threatens senses too dazed to stay clear their heavens will beckon, and angels will whisper my name wings of scarlet hue, their truth soaked in blood on wounded knees I've crawled through the nameless streets of this world I love
my heart is heavy with burden I'm feeling empty inside so fill me up and give me a taste of life
give me a place to hide, mother offer me your caress and let it last forever let me cry in your arms let me die in your embrace
my hands have held your paradise your heavens blazed from upon the highest hills, my lonely and wanting eyes did gaze for I was in love with life and this world but they tried to take that from me if this is the reward of the harvest then I gladly give you my share
