Bruderschaft - Forever

I don't believe in the existence of mercy's guiding hand

Not with all that I have witnessed

I cannot understand

Forever burdened with the knowledge

That I could have been so much more

When the truth is hard to suffer

I knew this all before

There is no comfort in faith

The heavens still will fall

A thousand towers rise before me

And I cannot climb them all

There is no kind of joy in this

There is no time that it can heal

When emptiness enshadows bliss

There is nothing left to feel

I have not abandoned hope

Though I know there's nothing more

Tired and alone, you forget what you have hoped for


I will walk this ground forever

And stand guard against your name

I will give all I can offer

I will shoulder all the blame

I am sentry to you now

All your hopes and all your dreams

I will hold you to the light

That's what forever means


I was never what you wanted

I could never never please

I swallowed all our sorrow

In the midst of my disease

All my fortunes, all my gains

All the battles I have won...

Now collapsing like the rain

I stand alone, your only son...

Take some solace in these words

Take notice of this place

Hollow whispers that they are

Like the wind upon my face

Just sing softly in my ear

And look at me with wonder

I will try to ease your fear

As the darkness pulls you under


I will walk this ground forever

And stand guard against your name

I will give all I can offer

I will shoulder all the blame

I am sentry to you now

All your hopes and all your dreams

I will hold you to the light

That's what forever means
