A Day in Verse
Eternity X Lyrics

I walk alone, endless seas of souls around me
I am alone, surrounded by many people around me

His face it told of the mad existence, a silent story
His face spoke about the life he led silently

And just how they took him, they tore a free soul down
The way they took him, they destroyed a free spirit

Didn't leave a trace
There was no evidence left behind

And how he sat and faced it, he didn't make a sound
He faced it without making a sound

And I watched in silence as...
I watched silently as...

Tears fell like rain, the world went insane around him
Tears flowed like rain, while the world around him went crazy

All those times I wondered where we were going then
I was always curious about where we were headed

Out here it never changed, unlock these chains that bind me
Out here, nothing changed, release me from my restraints

Oh the world, why is it so hard to understand?
Why is the world so difficult to comprehend?

She looks out from high above the dark and cold streets
She looks down from a high place at the dark, chilly streets

There in her room she waits in riches for something to happen
In her room, she waits for something to happen amidst her wealth

Money can't heal her, the hole she feels inside
Money cannot fill the void she feels within her

(One step closer)
(One step closer)

Staring into God's eyes, she says her last goodbye, then jumps to the cure as...
Looking at God, she says goodbye and moves towards her salvation

Tears fall like rain, eyes filled with sadness, I see
Eyes overflowing with tears of sadness, I see

A world in struggle for its very soul
A world in a battle for its essence

And the preachers they all pray, looking for some salvation
And the preachers pray, searching for rescue

I can't see how we made it through yesterday
I cannot comprehend how we passed yesterday

And tears fall like rain, those child-like hopes of being happy
Tears stream down like rain, hopes of childhood happiness

Seem overshadowed by a distant cry
Overshadowed by a faraway lamentation

Salvation never came, to those of us who saw the story
Salvation never arrived for us who witnessed the tragedy

We must always close our eyes and look the other way...
We must always shut our eyes and look away...

Passive pretense, killing license, witnesses sworn to silence
Acting unconcerned while killing, witnesses who swore to secrecy

Was it meant to be this way?
Was it supposed to be like this?

Losing, falling, satan calling, threatening your one and only
Losing, falling, being threatened by the devil, your only one

Drowning in your own sorrow, wasting away
Drowning in one's sorrow, dwindling away

All my fears, they are coming
All my fears are coming true

And this lonely life I'm condemned to live
This life of solitude I am sentenced to

It can be your home forever....
It can be your home for eternity.

Losing patience, warring nations, drug infested correlation
Running out of patience, nations at war, the link between drugs and crime

Is it the life you feel?
Is this what you feel life is like?

Victim's silence, caring violence, doctor assisted suicide
Keeping quiet about being a victim, compassionate violence, doctor-aided suicide

And here you are sitting, you're wasting away
And here you are, sitting and withering away

All my fears they are calling
All my fears are summoning me

And this world upon my screen, it will be my home forever....
And this world on my screen will be my permanent home.

They speak again, one last time he spoke the words
They speak again, he utters the last words

He said, 'I'll be there, just close your eyes, remember always'
He said, 'I will be there, just shut your eyes and always remember'

Then there was a silence where the dream went here, it was over then
Then there was quietude, the dream ended there

Another love gone, another heart to heal
Another love lost, another heart to mend

Hold yours forever!
Hold on to yours forever!

And tears fall like rain, worlds apart they sit and wonder
Tears fall like rain, worlds away, they ponder

How things could get so wrong when they were fine
How things could become so bad when they were splendid

This world it seems insane, all these dreams are left behind them
This world appears insane to them, leaving behind all their dreams

Does it matter where or why, anyway?
Does it matter where or why, in any case?

And it will be okay, things will be all right tomorrow
And it will be fine, tomorrow things will be better

Afterall, we made it through yesterday....
Because, in the end, we made it through yesterday...
