Sing the Sorrow Complete Lyrics

Miseria Cantare: The Beginning Lyrics

[Chorus]
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
 
[Verse 1]
Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame
Incinerate
 
[Verse 2]
Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all
Radiate, recognize one silent call
As we all form one dark flame
As we all form one dark flame
As we all
 
[Chorus]
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one of us
Love your hate, your faith lost
You are now one
One of us

The Great Disappointment Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can remember a place I used to go
Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful
I can remember, I searched for the amaranth
I'd shut my eyes to see
[Verse 2]
Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones
I knew they would appear, saw not a single one
Oh, how I smiled then, waiting so patiently
I'd make a wish and bleed
 
[Chorus]
While I waited, I was wasting away
While I waited, I was wasting away
 
[Verse 3]
I can remember, dreamt them so vividly
Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me
I can remember when I first realized
Dreams were the only place to see them
 
[Chorus 2]
While I waited, I was wasting away
While I waited, I was wasting away
While I waited, I was wasting away
Hope was wasting away
Faith was wasting away
I was wasting away
 
 
[Bridge]
I never, never wanted this
I always wanted to believe
I never, never wanted this
How could I have become?
I never, never wanted this
But from the start, I'd been deceived
I never, never wanted this
How could I have become?
 
I never, never wanted this
I always wanted to believe
I never, never wanted this
I never, never wanted this
But from the start, I'd been deceived
I never, never wanted this
 
[Bridge 2]
Inside a crumbling effigy
But you promised
So dies all innocence
But you promised me
 
[Chorus 2]
While I waited, I was wasting away
While I waited, I was wasting away
While I waited, I was wasting away
Hope was wasting away
Faith was wasting away
I was wasting away

…but home is nowhere Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun
To understand my, my intimate is no one
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?
They cut the cast, the music, and the lights
 
[Chorus]
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time, left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
 
[Verse 2]
Twenty-six years end, still speaking in these tongues
Such revelations, while understood by no one
When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?
Please clear this house of ill-acquired taste
 
[Chorus]
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time and left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
 
 
[Bridge]
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something real
 
[Bridge 2]
I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle
Everyday, another small piece can't be found
I lay strewn across the floor, pieced up in sorrow
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit
Pieced together incomplete and empty
 
[Chorus]
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time and left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
 
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
This is my prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time and left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone

Synesthesia Lyrics

7 ContributorsSynesthesia LyricsHeartbreak incarnate
I'm nothing if not your memories
Heartbreak, please let me be
Your joy and your pain
Someday I will be
I'll be those common words spoken uniquely
Because I may, will forever be
Floating as you feel
 
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past all tear-stained and wrinkled
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past all tear-stained and wrinkled
Just say, say you will follow me
Follow me, invite me to your memory
Just sing, sing again follow me
Follow me, that long forgotten song
 
Heartbreak incarnate
I'm nothing if not your memories
Heartbreak, please let me be
Your joy and your pain
 
Someday I will be
I'll be that waking warmth from a fading dream
Because I will, I may at best
Float as you feel
 
 
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past look distant and wrinkled
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past look distant and wrinkled
 
Just say, say you will follow me
Follow me, invite me to your memory
Just sing, sing again follow me
Follow me, that long forgotten song
 
Let me be all the words
Let me be all the words
Let me be all the words
Let me be all the words
 
Let me be all the words echoing comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay
Let me be all the words echoing comfort, comfort, comfort, comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay
 
Let me be all the words echoing comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay
Let me be all the words echoing comfort, comfort, comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay
