You've played this hand, refused to stand

has dignity dissolved?

How far away I heard you say

In empathy devolved-

You cast your heart two worlds apart

and lost sight of your soul

But the sun will rise with cleaner eyes

That you pretend to know...



I stood waiting for so long

(You can try, you can cry, and you always will)

I stood here praying I was wrong.

(You can try, you can cry, and you always will)



You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.

You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-

I know, within your soul, the light fights through the rain

But if you promise me forever, I know that it's in vain.



If silence slips from sacred (God's own) lips

Shall the world un-become.

The tears of saints in blood you paint

A coward's word is none

And with no voice you forfeit choice

and crucify your thoughts

But see a face in tortured grace

Whose eyes belonged to God



You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.

You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-

I know, within your soul, the light fights through the rain

But now a promise of forever, won't take away the pain.



Sangrael, sangrael

A lover's cup before a wishing well

Sangrael, sangrael

Where all who thirst shall drink

Sangrael, sangrael

From heaven's height to the depths of hell

Sangrael, sangrael

And all who thirst shall drink
