Lyrics

I, once upon a time

Carried a burden, inside

I sung a last goodbye

A broken rhyme I'd underlined

There's an ocean of sorrow in you

A sorrow in me

Saw a movement in their eyes

Said I no longer, knew the way

Given up the ghost

A passive mind submit to fear

And the wait for redemption at hand

Waiting to fail

Failing again

If death should take me now

Count my mistakes and let me through

Whisper in my ear

You've taken more than we've received

And the ocean of sorrow is you

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Ah)

Ha
