Anguish, Sorrow, Dismay Feelings that you forsake Rage, Ruin, Decay It keeps me wide awake Trial of faith, left me damaged and broken Buried beneath the ashes of a dying light Long gone are the days of solace and virtue They passed right by me, blurred images like I'm losing sight Looking back over the wasted years Crooked memories of old still linger ABSENCE FROM WHAT WE LOVE ( What We Love ! ) IS FAR WORSE THAN DEATH ITSELF ( Death Itself ) BLACK AND WHITE, THERE ARE NO TWO SIDES OF LIFE THERE LIES MY HOPE, BURNT TO A CINDER Shaken mind, draws the line as my sight grew dim Smoulders of red, dance right before my eyes Kindred corpses, now dormant, fallen dead The flames will consume us! Looking back over the wasted years, The memories still linger! Feelings that you forsake, it keeps me wide awake... ABSENCE FROM WHAT WE LOVE IS FAR WORSE THAN DEATH ITSELF BLACK AND WHITE, THERE ARE NO TWO SIDES OF LIFE THERE LIES MY HOPE, BURNT TO A CINDER....
