Wait
Throne of Chaos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Morning breeze won't bring much hope
Two years gone, it hurts me still
I can't fight this guilt inside
It feel so cold, how can I hide?
I know you're still waiting there
I see you everywhere
For it you don't come back
It's a world without a wonder
Oh, If you'd be here with me...
Sometimes I feel alright
But I could never live without you
If there's a heaven, then this must be hell
It's there years now and still it hurts
On broken streets of Gothamburg
I feel that you're still waiting here
Can't see you anywhere
Everyday without you
Without you, babe
And everyday it's you
I know you ain't waiting there
'Cause Gothamburg is everywhere
I've learnt to fight this guilt inside
I feel so old, I've lost my sight




There is nothing left for me
No place from where to leave

One of my favorite bands, still wish they were together. I can't even find out what happened to the majority of band members, they disappeared. I bought the Japanese version of this album for over $32 and it was worth it.
