As the last autumn leaves are falling Blackened skies yield rain, has the sun disappeared? Another winter descends like dying hope Let me see through it all that you're still near Oh Lord Never let me lose hope If I stumble in the shadow of sorrow Will you lift me, will you carry me through the years? If the weight of the world brings me down to my knees Will I feel you dry my bitter tears? Oh Lord I need to see you through my tears Never let me lose hope Lead me through, lead me on lead me over the gates to a new tomorrow In the days of disillusionment Frustration and discontent In the hours of doubt and disbelief Days of mourning and of grief Oh Lord On the edge of the depths of despair Never let me lose hope Hear my cries! Desperate hands reach out to you Washed in tears of pain In these eyes, remain the shadows of yesterday Will you steal them away? Hear my cries Desperate hands reach out to you You who suffered pain In my mind, I see the weight that fell on you To bring me home again Give me hope again

Shedding my old skin Looking down, deep within Falling, fading, all is changing There is no normality I can feel, I can taste Nothing Everything laid to waste Burning Marching backwards through the years Facing long forgotten fears Yearning, searching for a reason What is my identity? It all lies in ruins The world that I once knew I'm searching the wreckage Just to find a grain of truth All of us shadows of our former selves Must still receive some illumination Frustration, confusion, set me free I walk through the shadows, of my sorrow And fall down to my knees Oh Lord, please comfort me Marching backwards through the past Facing all my fears at last Lost within the creeping shadows Twisted, charred remains have cast

Why run my friend? There's nowhere left to hide Why search the ruins? There's nothing left to find We live, we breathe But we are numb to life We grieve The tears have dried in our eyes And beauty - we pass it by Purity - cast aside We carry a crushing weight Our fear, our lust and all our hate Our fears and all our hate Our fears and all the violence of all these years The burden of all our fears Where will it end There's nowhere left to hide There's nothing left to find Such beauty we do not see We pass it by While we destroy each others lives Still we kill, still we maim We ruin, we blacken We're still those children The ones who mock and threaten With our own rhyme and reason This is our hunting season

Where is your hand oh my love Lost in the mist I can't see Paths where we walked are no more And the light in your eyes has grown dim Oh my love Light in your eyes has grown dim Once I could I could hear through the woods Your voice as you called out my name Finally fading away Silence is all that remains Now my love Silence is all that remains And that which I deemed without end Draws to a close without time Find for yourself a new dream Though in our hearts we will grieve For lost love Though in our hearts we will grieve

Have mercy on me as I plead for forgiveness Observe with compassion, these tears of remorse I awoke in a prison enshrouded in darkness Out of my depth with my face to the floor Please reach out Rescue me Take my hand Do not forsake me With blood cleanse me As I yearn for salvation Look upon the face of a man lost in sorrow Who lives out his days with a burden of fear But now as you lead, help me to follow As a prisoner no more, for I am released Have mercy on me

I've been to the depths where they show you The meaning of sorrow I kept my life because I still needed tomorrow There is always something remaining In the back of my foolish mind To keep me searching the pathway For an answer that I left behind Don't leave me behind When you've taken all you can take There's really nothing left Of what you thought was living Now it's so much worse than death There's nothing left to offer And now you're falling blind Can't seem to find a way back A feeling that you're lost this time So take my hand And walk with me All is not lost I've been to the depths, so don't tell me I've never known sorrow Still reeling from yesterday Still bleeding tomorrow But there's always something remaining At the back of my foolish mind To keep me searching the pathway Till I stumble at the end of my time

I ran with you through greenest meadows Entranced by you, (in) slow fading evening glow You led me through where purest waters flowed Remember you felt so safe in my arms Long, long ago So long ago But now let me take you back Through greenest meadows I stand and stare at the distant hills December sun falls on faraway fields I'd do anything just to reach you again To lie in your arms, for these wounds to heal Let me take you back through greenest meadows I want to see your eyes without tears tonight Sunset streaks across the sky Winter came, flowers died Beautiful things, must they come to an end So will tomorrow be the day our love dies Walk with me my love By flowing streams Take my hand on the shores of the sea Live again tonight with me I stand and stare at the distant hills December sun falls on faraway fields Let me take you there again in my arms For only as one are our dreams fulfilled See me lying here I cannot sleep Can't sweep these cobwebs away Solitary, with just a distant memory These walls are closing in I ran with you through greenest meadows Entranced by you We danced So long ago, my love But now let me take you back.

Grim lives lived out with bitterness and contempt Unforgiving, cold, half living, half dead Self appointed judges on thrones of clay Mocking those who reject their loathsome ways When I sense your cold embrace I reject your loathsome ways I see them judge by their own fallen standards I see them worship at the feet of fools When blind follow blind, death lies waiting Inhabiting empty lives where programmed minds Remain so confused Believing in nothing except what they see with their cynical eyes Paving the way for their children a bleak future awaits When I sense your cold embrace I feel your emptiness

For years I was held in a suffocating grip I closed my eyes, I bit my lip I cried to you, too young, too weak to fly Afraid to move, Would I suffer if I tried? Does the sun still shine like in my dreams Does it light up the outside of the walls that encircle me Is it just an illusion the things I see Through crumbling stone, light begins to bleed As I become someone I do not recognise Caressed by fear, afraid to open blinded eyes Behind the walls the naïve one so frightened Cannot loosen the grip, it just keeps getting tightened I know I saw the light begin to bleed There's a world outside, it lies before me A world on the outside of love and dreams I wish to lead my life, I wish to walk the path of freedom (But) if I hate, I'll never escape The pain that imprisons me With you I learned to live and breathe again Learned to loosen the grip, then I broke the chains As the ghosts of fears fade, I see in perfect clarity Leave behind the ruins of the walls that imprisoned me And the sun still shines like in my dreams The world still turns, but not as once it seemed My mind is clear, my eyes, my spirit see As your broken hands are healing wounds in me
