Lyrics
You told me the sun would always rise
You assured me that there would always be hope and positivity.
And if it shouldn't shine have faith
Even in the absence of light, have faith in a better future.
'cause one day that great burning star's light
Referring to the sun, expressing hope for a return to happiness.
One once again dance across my face
Anticipating a time when joy and warmth will return.
I heard the roar of the parting seas
Hearing the powerful sound of separation and departure.
And the mourning of a blackened sun
Witnessing the sorrowful state of a darkened world.
I saw the last flower wither away
Observing the decay and loss of beauty in the world.
When our flesh turned to stone
Experiencing a transformation where emotions become hardened.
I felt the frigid blood in my veins grow still
Feeling the cold and stagnant flow of life in one's veins.
Like winter's paralyzed streams
Comparing the stillness to the frozen streams of winter.
As the soil beneath our feet gave way
Describing a shift in the foundation of existence to industrial and materialistic dreams.
To iron and asphalt dreams
Metaphorically referencing a societal transformation.
when nighttime stars flicker with grief and despair
When the stars of the night express sorrow and desperation.
And dusk threatens senses too dazed to stay clear
When evening poses a threat to emotions overwhelmed by confusion.
Their heavens will beckon,
A vision of a divine calling and celestial beings.
And angels will whisper my name
Angels acknowledging the individual by name.
Wings of scarlet hue, their truth soaked in blood
Describing angels with wings of red, symbolizing a truth steeped in suffering.
On wounded knees I've crawled
Having experienced hardship and pain while remaining resilient.
Through the nameless streets of this world I love
Navigating through the unknown streets of a beloved but troubled world.
my heart is heavy with burden
Expressing a profound emotional burden.
I'm feeling empty inside
Feeling a sense of emptiness within.
So fill me up and give me a taste of life
Requesting to be filled with the experiences and essence of life.
give me a place to hide, mother
Seeking refuge and protection from the challenges of life.
Offer me your caress and let it last forever
Pleading for the enduring comfort of a mother's touch.
Let me cry in your arms
Desiring the solace of crying in a maternal embrace.
Let me die in your embrace
Expressing a willingness to face death within the safety of a mother's love.
my hands have held your paradise
Having experienced a glimpse of an idyllic and perfect place.
Your heavens blazed
Referring to heavenly realms marked by intense brightness.
From upon the highest hills,
Viewing the beauty of the world from a high vantage point.
My lonely and wanting eyes did gaze
Gazing longingly and with desire.
For I was in love with life and this world
Expressing love for life and the world despite challenges.
But they tried to take that from me
Encountering attempts to strip away the love for life.
If this is the reward of the harvest
If hardship is the result of one's efforts, willingly surrendering it.
Then I gladly give you my share
Offering a portion of the rewards gained from life's struggles.
