A Lament for an Abandoned Heaven and All Us Who Lay Beneath

There may yet be

Perhaps there never was

Ire burns in the hearts of man, as they're born to ever-wander the sands

But I've learned the lay of this land

It was not grand design, it's unfortunate chance

Lechery for the temptress of flesh

As I saunter through life, I am lead by her hands

Decry this burden to bear

For time is all but a hindrance

Tonight, like roots in the trees, I've planted my being with no divine resistance

Subside this idolatry, for God has left me defenseless

And I was not meant to be, yet I endure pain and am indebted forgiveness

There may yet be eternity

Now I know that perhaps there never was

Now I know that perhaps there never was

I'll languish as I'm battered by age

I'll drown in the traumas I've garnered

But I'll never cry out for faith, when I've suffered from the sins of my father

Decry this burden to bear

For, time is all but a hindrance

Tonight, like roots in the trees, I've planted my being

With no divine resistance

There may yet be eternity

Now I know that perhaps there never was

Now I know that perhaps there never was

Now I know that perhaps there never was

When there is no life, left to live

I hope you'll see

When there is nothing left to give

I hope you'll see

I hope you'll see
