In Joy and Sorrow - HIM

Father, can you hear me? How have I let you down? I curse the day that I was born And all the sorrow in this world Let me take you to the herding ground Where all good men are trampled down Just to settle a bet that could not be won Between a prideful father and his son Will you guide me now? For I can't see A reason for the suffering and this long misery What if every living soul could be upright and strong? Well then I do imagine There will be sorrow Yeah, there will be sorrow And there will be sorrow no more When all soldiers lay their weapons down Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves It's easy to imagine There will be sorrow Yeah, there will be sorrow And there will be sorrow no more There will be sorrow Yeah, there will be sorrow And there will be sorrow no more Yeah, there will be sorrow Yeah, there will be sorrow And there will be sorrow no more

Along the way I find myself To be confined within me No place for any other's mind to interfere To grasp the meaning of it all To overcome my limits And dance away from any void and empty tones Just tell me why Just tell me how I can survive this time Believe yourselves and look away From all that's right within you Leave all your worries at the door And drift away I've tried to peer into the core But could not storm the sorrow My hollow heart has bled me dry, left me to stray Another time Without a trace Condemned me now Send me to hell For I'm already failing Intertwine the lines That swim beneath the dark Realize the pain we live in Demonize the need we reel in In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know Centuries of dreams unending Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed No time to ever go to waste It's not that complicated You're free to live your life at ease No more restraints No heed for shadows on your way That try to steal your laughter Your light will drive them all away Be confident Will I refrain? Can I repent? Will you be there? Erase the page For I'm alone and ailing Intertwine the lines That swim beneath the dark Realize the pain we live in Demonize the need we reel in In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know Centuries of dreams unending Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed So This is my life And it can't break me down Go I will decide Who can come in And heal my disease Burn it In flames Kill it And maim Why can't you see that you need to be freed Intertwine the lines Beneath the dark Every bit of pain we're feeling Every other solemn life In the memories you will find somehow There used to be a dream unending No more need to be alone Intertwine the lines That swim beneath the dark Realize the pain we live in Demonize the need we reel in In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know Centuries of dreams unending Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed Someone had betrayed

Eighteen years old, full of hate They shipped me off in a motorcade They said, "Boy, you're gonna fight a war You don't even know what you're fighting for" I lost friends in the August heat At night it was God I'd always meet I said, "Lord, won't you bring me home? I've got women in the west I wanna hold" And I lost you in a waiting room After sleepin' there for a week or two Doctor said he did all he could You were the last thing I had that was good So I walked miles on the Tulsa streets Light started beamin' in from the east 6 AM and fucked up again Askin' God where the hell he'd been He said the sun's gonna rise tomorrow Somewhere on the east side of sorrow You better pack your bags west Stick out your chest And then hit the road The sun's gonna rise tomorrow Somewhere on the east side of sorrow Don't give it a reason to follow Let it be, then let it go Let it be, then let it go Heard your brother lost his mind in the city last fall Was it his blood, or his conscious, or the alcohol Did the Navy do him well or did he wind up sick Like every other brave boy from these run down sticks? Do you ever get tired of singin' songs Like all your pain is just another fucking sing along? If you ever get the time come on home I heard Turnpike's back together and they're writin' songs He said the sun's gonna rise tomorrow Somewhere on the east side of sorrow You better pack your bags west Stick out your chest And then hit the road The sun's gonna rise tomorrow Somewhere on the east side of sorrow Don't give it a reason to follow Let it be, then let it go Let it be, then let it go
