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
