lyrics

Pain is a wasteland through which we must traverse
Vast with no end, it seems
Will we ever know, is it a blessing or a curse
Shattering our dreams

I have tasted these crumbs for so long
And I long, oh I long for the feast
I'm trying to cling to the hope of the song
That will rise like the sun in the east
At the end of time

Hope is the water that flows in a stream
Drifting slowly, but steadily
It moves through every trail and every scheme
To finally kiss the sea

I have tasted these crumbs for so long
And I long, oh I long for the feast
But I will cling to the hope of the song
That will rise like the sun in the east
Till the end of time

Life is a painting with colours of joy and pain
Too often we focus on what's in front
Trying to mend, we find it is all in vain
But if we'd take a step back, we'd realize
A beautiful canvas of our lives
Cause without darkness, there are no stars in the skies
And a seed will not grow unless it dies
