I tried, i failed to believe
in the reward i would receive
if only heaven's distant sun
would burn away all the things i'd done
I tried to no avail
to keep my eyes from growing pale
but my vision came too late
and my belief started to abate
Like a tide recedes from rocky shores
i drew back no matter how much you implored
i have failed to see the beauty here
everything i love has disappeared
Worlds collide without a sound
and flames arise from frozen ground
but nothing can bring back my faith
you tried your best, but i'm afraid that it's too late
I looked into your eyes
for some sign of surprise
that i would question all of this
that i would stand upon that precipice
But the look would never come
as you just stood there growing numb
and your eyes dropped to the ground
in search of something i might find profound
Like a tide recedes from rocky shores
i drew back no matter how much you implored
i have failed to see the beauty here
everything i love has disappeared
Worlds collide without a sound
and flames arise from frozen ground
but nothing can bring back my faith
you tried your best, but i'm afraid that it's too late
I tried, i failed to forgive
for the life you made me live
a confusing ride at best
and at its worst it seemed so meaningless
If there's a lesson to be learned
some sort of wisdom to be earned
it held too great a price
it required too great a sacrifice
Like a tide recedes from rocky shores
i drew back no matter how much you implored
i have failed to see the beauty here
everything i love has disappeared
Worlds collide without a sound
and flames arise from frozen ground
but nothing can bring back my faith
you tried your best, but i'm afraid that it's too late
Worlds collide without a sound
and flames arise from frozen ground
but nothing can bring back my faith
you tried your best, but i'm afraid that it's too late
