The Lifetime of a Spark

lyrics

You hear the world goes forward
That everyone’s moved on
But you remain in darkness
A music without sound
You hear your friends are living
Their blissful joys and cries
But you can’t see the sun again
Been raining day and night

And if everything in art is cursed
Or, way worse, just a game
Find the light that keeps you alive
And never let it out
That spark that makes it worth your life
Your pain and all your tears
Just reach it, grab it, let it shine
And guide you on your path

I tried my best, to seize a falling star
To brave the threads of fate
To make a crystal out of hate
A music out of searing pain
To hide the tears of old
To heal the injustice of this world
I tried to break the chains of love
To fight the fires of it all

I could not see, the reason in plain sight
The sense of wrong made right
Of all the throes of love declined
The words we both could hide behind
If only I had been, if only I could have foreseen
How rainbows come after a storm
Their colors bright, from sorrow torn

In sickness and in health
In treachery and dread
Things will never be the same
Deliverance from pain

Here, the lines, so blind to see what lies behind the door
It can fall apart, so fast, and dark, and everything gets through
through it all, through the lies and words and tapestries of old
can we see the light beyond the still of dawn?

I can’t take away the sin of love
I can only sing the story of it all
Till it burns a fire in the night

Light the spark of life within your heart
Break away from sorrow, rise
The legend of your story you will write among the stars
Shine, the path of glory lies beyond
The veil of sinners in their shade
You can rekindle faith in reaching for the sky

A dancer in the pouring rain
A jester with no words to sing or claim
A promise that was broken too fast, too soon
The memory won’t fade

Come, we are free, we’re unbound
We can give you what you want
We can see, we can hear, we’re the reapers of the ordeal
We are one, we are many, we’re the legion of the damned
If you wish, say the word, and forever she’ll be yours

If I could turn back time for real
If I could tell her what I feel
The wrongs I had, mistakes I made instead

And every time I count the days
Where every word stabs deeper in
How does it feel to be rejected every way
Rejected every way?

Do you feel the same, when you call her name?
When you cry in pain, when all words are vain
When you hold your tears, when you face your fears
Did you win your fame, did you last the game?
Do you still believe, all was worth the shame?
Did you shout her name, when you drowned in rain
Do you feel the same?

Light the spark of life within your heart
Break away from sorrow, rise
The legend of your story you will write among the stars
Shine, the path of glory lies beyond
The veil of sinners in their shade
You can rekindle faith in reaching for the sky
