Lyrics

[00:35.50] Searching for diamonds in a sulphur mine,
[00:43.11] Leaning on props which are rotten,
[00:50.75] Hoping for anything, looking for a sign
[00:57.19] That I am not forgotten.
[01:07.61] Lost in a labyrinth of future mystery,
[01:15.80] Tracing my steps, all mistaken,
[01:23.42] Trusting to everything, praying it can be
[01:29.76] That I am not forsaken.
[01:52.36] I wait by the door, wondering
[01:59.14] When you will come and keep me warm.
[02:04.87] I pray for the end of the night,
[02:13.47] Hoping the light will still the storm
[02:22.01] Which presently entraps me;
[02:24.72] Helpless sea-monster stranded on the shore,
[02:31.42] Marooned in an ecstasy of waiting,
[02:39.06] I yearn, although knowing that I shall dive no more
[02:45.41] In the tide already racing.
[03:07.58] My lungs burst to cry: "Finally
[03:12.99] How could you leave me here to die?
[03:20.14] I freeze in the chill of this place
[03:28.68] With no friendly face to smile goodbye-
[03:37.02] How could you let it happen? "
[04:00.39] How could you let it happen?
[04:32.19] Dreams, hopes and promises, fragments out of time,
[04:45.30] All of these things have been spoken;
[04:53.10] But still you don't understand how it feels when I'm
[05:02.49] Waiting for them to be broken.
[05:19.43] Waiting for them to be broken.
[05:27.94] Waiting for them to be broken.
