As Daylight Dies Complete Lyrics

This Is Absolution Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We will not die this way, in unification
They cannot break these chains of faith
Let them do their worst (Let them do their worst)
Never slaves to iniquity
 
[Chorus]
We will not die this way (This is absolution)
Death claims us no more (No more)
Do not grieve, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal
 
[Verse 2]
Will you take the stand among the dead?
Bury your fear, and hold fast to life
Come on
 
[Chorus]
We will not die this way (This is absolution)
Death claims us no more (No more)
Do not grieve, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal
 
[Bridge]
Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love
Believe you have just begun to live, to live
 
 
[Verse 3]
Don't let the world deceive you
Don't let their words betray you
Don't let their lies deceive you
Let them do their worst
 
[Chorus]
We will not die this way (This is absolution)
Death claims us no more (No more)
Do not grieve, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal

My Curse Lyrics

[Verse 1: Howard Jones]
I watched you walk away
Hopeless, with nothing to say
I strain my eyes
Hoping to see you again
 
[Pre-Chorus: Howard Jones]
This is my curse (The longing)
This is my curse (Time)
This is my curse (The yearning)
This is my curse
 
[Chorus: Howard Jones]
There is love
Burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Will you be there?
 
[Post-Chorus: Howard Jones]
Woah
 
[Verse 2: Howard Jones]
Your silence haunts me
But still I hunger for you
 
[Pre-Chorus: Howard Jones]
This is my curse (The wanting)
This is my curse (Time)
This is my curse (The healing)
This is my curse
 
 
[Chorus: Howard Jones]
There is love
Burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
 
[Interlude: Howard Jones]
And still I want
And still I ache
But still I wait
 
[Bridge: Howard Jones, Adam Dutkiewicz]
To see you again
Dying inside these walls
Dying inside these walls
And I see your face
In these tears, in these tears
And I see your face
 
[Outro: Howard Jones]
There is love (There is love)
There is love (There is love)
There is love (There is love)
There is love (There is love)

Desperate Times Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time and time again I stand at the crossroad
Where the weight of my burden eclipses my resolve
This broken path I've chosen, I walk it alone
Though I feel forgotten, you've carved my name in stone
 
[Chorus]
In these desperate times, this I plead
When all else fails, remember me
 
[Verse 2]
This is daily crucifixion and these rusty nails leave scars
My jagged crown is at my side
Anguish is never far
 
[Chorus]
In these desperate times, this I plead
When all else fails, remember me
 
[Verse 3]
This is a blood-oath
They are nothing to me anymore
But your voice means more to me than you'll ever know
 
[Bridge]
There's no question
You're the answer
I will find you
 
 
[Chorus/Outro]
In these desperate times, this I plead (This I plead)
When all else fails, remember me
In these desperate times, this I plead (This I plead)
When all else fails, remember me
