About the Artist
Lyrics
The tyranny of deterioration Worries me that it's all just a waste of time Taking one step forward, two steps back Still I believe there's a breath through the thorns And I believe the summer's warm And I believe that it's ever bright beyond this black So keep holding on to hope without assurance Holding on to a memory of light But will the morning come? For all I know We'll never see the sun, but together we'll fight the long defeat Suffering that I see all around It's enough to keep me crashing down Till I, I'm wrecked and wreathing from these falls Still I believe there's a word in the wire And I believe there's a way through the fire And I, believe, there's a joy that blooms beyond these walls So keep holding on to hope without assurance Holding on to a memory of light But will the morning come? For all I know We'll never see the sun, but together we'll fight the long defeat
