Essence - Shades Of Black lyrics

"We dedicate this tune to everyone who has lost someone they held dear" And I have lived a thousand years and Only seen life disappear from this world As the sun it brightly rose I walked across the entire globe Saw all the scars from the human claws These open wounds will never be gone And at night I was embraced by light Feeling the stars strength and might Coming from above in this cold forsaken world I turned to god and yelled in my deepest despair Why am I here if I'm only meant to share your pain My love is not gone but the life I live will never be the same From a sombre sleep awake a fire in my eyes is lit Awaken in the darkest night A freezing sky - a warming light I see my breath as I exhale I see it all - I see so clear But alone I lay on plains of ice Hoping that I soon will die My tears are my words to you that my heart can never say You see those tears of mine are shades Of black that never fade away - fade away Shades of black as light in dark Heal my mind and ease my heart Semper fidelis - I will never forget Reminding me of the life we once lived Free my sorrow - free my soul The rain is gone - you made me whole The shades of black are here at night With a glowing hope as the moons dim light All shades of black illuminate my path and Keep me safe as you guide me on my way Now please bring me home Now I stand a different man I've lived and died but still I am On my back in frost white gra** A second away from shadows of past I've wandered the entire globe in a Single thought I've gained new hope Got through it all and now I live My eternal love is forever missed So shine a light and shine it strong Shine a light for my day has come All life is just borrowed and one day We will have to give it back - give back
