Never

Inner peace and harmony 
Inner peace tonight 

Still, the solace of my mind 
Still, the love that I can't find 
Lost, the madness of my life 
To inner peace and light 

Still, the stirring of emotion 
Still, the tumult of the ocean 
Bliss, the perfect harmony 
That life now seems to me 

Still, the tears upon my eye 
Still, the joy that makes me cry 
Gone, the unsurmounted bars 
Lost forever in the stars 

Still, the solace of my soul 
Still, the loss that makes me whole 
Blank, the tumult of my mind 
Gone, the sadness of my life 

All is still. All is still 
Lights are in the distance 
I am still, on this hill 
Nothing stirs resistance 
All alone. All alone 
I'm all alone this time 

Still, the cadence of my joy 
Still, the hurt that can't destroy 
Still, the frost upon my breath 
God, can this be death? 

All alone. All alone 
I'm all alone this time
