You've played this hand, refused to stand
has dignity dissolved?
How far away I heard you say
In empathy devolved-
You cast your heart two worlds apart
and lost sight of your soul
But the sun will rise with cleaner eyes
That you pretend to know...

I stood waiting for so long
(You can try, you can cry, and you always will)
I stood here praying I was wrong.
(You can try, you can cry, and you always will)

You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights through the rain
But if you promise me forever, I know that it's in vain.

If silence slips from sacred (God's own) lips
Shall the world un-become.
The tears of saints in blood you paint
A coward's word is none
And with no voice you forfeit choice
and crucify your thoughts
But see a face in tortured grace
Whose eyes belonged to God

I stood waiting for so long
(You can try, you can cry, and you always will)
I stood here praying I was wrong.
(You can try, you can cry, and you always will)

You said that we could last forever, forever and a day.
You said that we could last forever, if only I would stay-
I know, within your soul, the light fights through the rain
But now a promise of forever, won't take away the pain.

Sangrael, sangrael
A lover's cup before a wishing well
Sangrael, sangrael
Where all who thirst shall drink
Sangrael, sangrael
From heaven's height to the depths of hell
Sangrael, sangrael
And all who thirst shall drink
