[Verse 1] There was a time when all hope was lost The carcass of dreams lay at our feet And words fell on silenced ears, all bridges crossed Consumed by the fires of all we'd achieved [Verse 2] A breath of cold by day remembers warmth that was within Like a ghost finally unbound from its prison Solemnly I swear to vanquish darkness in your name I swear your light will permeate my being [Chorus] There was a time when all hope was lost The carcass of dreams lay at our feet And words fell on silencеd ears, all bridges crossed Consumеd by the fires of all we'd achieved [Verse 3] The unforgotten name, the cherished flame that you began I have born, and by night I was forgiven Seasons passed, but you remained From anguish I became incandescent You have raised me from the dead [Chorus] There was a time when all hope was lost The carcass of dreams lay at our feet And words fell on silenced ears, all bridges crossed Consumed by the fires of all we'd achieved [Bridge] This I'll always hold dear This I'll always hold dear [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] There was a time when all hope was lost The carcass of dreams lay at our feet And words fell on silenced ears, all bridges crossed Consumed by the fires of all we'd achieved
