A Life Unknown

Saddened situations from the past
Ever-growing changing needs
That could never last
On the days that I might fear
All-consuming insincere
I silently collapse
Can we purge the light we've known
For this sacrifice we couldn't make
But we thirst for life unknown

As the world before me burns
I have nowhere left to turn
Throughout all the centuries of hate
Moments of autonomy repressed
Bleeding through uncertainty
All sanity has left
And we purge the light we've known
For this sacrifice we couldn't make
But we thirst for life unknown
In a dream of hopeless cheer
Withered, beauty disappears
Throughout all the memories remain
For this sacrifice we couldn't make

We'll agonise alone
The sweet fade from night to dawn
In these damaged times that dominate
We'll thirst for life alone

We crave a life, crave a life unknown
