The Great Disappointment
I can remember a place I used to goChrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautifulI can remember, I searched for the amaranthI'd shut my eyes... to see
Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished onesI knew they would appear... saw not a single oneOh, how I smiled then, waiting so patientlyI'd make a wish... and bleed
While I waited I was wasting awayWhile I waited I was wasting away
I can remember... dreamt them so vividlySoft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing meI can remember when I first realizedDreams were the only place to see them
While I waited I was wasting awayWhile I waited I was wasting awayWhile I waited I was wasting awayHope was wasting awayFaith was wasting awayI was wasting away
I never, never wanted thisI always wanted to believeI never, never wanted thisHow could I have become?I never, never wanted thisBut from the start I'd been deceivedI never, never wanted thisHow could I have become?
I never, never wanted thisI always wanted to believeI never, never wanted thisI never, never wanted thisBut from the start I'd been deceivedI never, never wanted this
Inside a crumbling effigyBut you promisedSo dies all innocenceBut you promised me
While I waited I was wasting awayWhile I waited I was wasting awayWhile I waited I was wasting awayHope was wasting awayFaith was wasting awayI was wasting away
