All the hurt and all the pain
Is hitting you like freezing rain
The love that you once felt
Has now grown cold
The loneliness of living
Without a friend to lean on
Has made the pain ingrained inside so old
So very old

Beauty to ruins, majesty’s dust
A spoken word and yet unheard
No surprise, completely broken trust
Feelings of fire
Foundation’s desire
Rain came along, a change of song
Foundation’s beginning to rust

In the valley of despair
A seed of life was found in there
Your fertile soil received with joy
The news of a rebirth
From life to death, the death to life
The chains and pains are broken
Death relived or life revived
Received by words faith-spoken
