Sorrow
Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past
Hope hides helpless now, in the midst of this turmoil
Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, for now nor morrow
Better days will come, to this it's taught stay steadfast
Covered by black storm clouds, faith continues loyal
Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past
Happiness of youth, an idea we temporarily borrowed
Time moves fast making body, soul and heart spoil
Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, for now nor morrow
A day will come when we will have to face our sorrow
We look, examine our lives, many, sadly left to recoil
Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past
To one end, weak or strong, we all do tend to follow
For that purpose, all strive, search, conspire and toil
Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, for now nor morrow
Finding meaning in life, a quest that is never shallow
However it's always elusive, at times angers to a boil
Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past
Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, for now nor morrow
