Hope flew out through the window Faith and trust slipped out by the door This house has now become like a graveyard With emptiness as its sole reign Will you follow through hollow waters Take us through the faintest rivers Circle of sorrow Closing in on you A barren field lies by your feet A ravaged wasteland as far as you can see Devastation has come to haunt these lands And nothing will ever grow in the soil Will you follow through hollow waters Take us through the faintest rivers Circle of sorrow Closing in on you Cities will fall, empires crumble Hope can prevail, we will follow Forests will burn, under the scourge Lead us again through these faraway lands Wrath of the scorned, born of fire Tainted fury, leads to nothing Let it all pass, open yourself Lead us away through these faraway lands Through a swirling vortex Down an endless spiral Swallowed by a seething pit The blackness draws you in and calls your name In your final hour At the fall of day Before you're born, beyond your death The everlasting light is the flame of eternity
