I wrote my pains down in my own blood-stained ink
for the world to read all that I bleed.
I hand sung my songs of all my sadness,
in a world of madness, looking for gladness
~ but all I found was bitterness.
I watched how winter winds pushed its way in
bared all the trees ~ and swept away the leaves,
where the sky is always gloomy gray;
I have no riches to give but my thoughts are always
being written in a world of unforgiving.
Yet, wealth is never enough ~
when you live in a world of darkness,
the threaded lies have seeded,
and will soon be weeded up from there roots
to burn away into ashes that will blow in the wind.
Oh, how this evilness ~
took its sweet time to play on the minds
day in and day out, it was all like clockwork
leaving behind the hurt, in a whirlwind of sins.
Oh, this loneliness that runs deep into the night
chasing away all that is bright;
yet, the heavens are full of stars of true beauty
that glitters over my head. The nights are cold,
but your words of love burning deep within.
To keep me warm to see another sunrise.
in my heart I will always treasure you;
no matter the pains I live in,
I know in the long run this agony will come to its end.
