Lyrics

Life sentence


Blighted truths and dreams of youth now pave this path of life
Condemned to walk in shadow, compelled towards the night
A distant song of Summer gently echoes in my heart
My wishing well has long run dry, my voyage it has no chart

So far from home I wander down those long deserted ways
In hope to find a long lost truth that will surely light my way
I walk alone, I walk alone

Truth of life is all my learning
Love of life is what I'm feeling
All my senses, all my being
Vision's light in all my seeing

Treasures that I once held dear their gleam and glory fade
Enchanted deep beneath the dust I could not avert my gaze
Illusions flee with every breath they no longer blind my sight
I hold the keys to salvation but I do not hold a light

Hope's candle flame it flickers weakly on the winds of change
I talk with ghosts who know me well, but I do not know their names
I talk alone, I talk alone

Truth of life is all my learning
Love of life is what I'm feeling
All my senses, all my being
Vision's light in all my seeing

With sparkling gleams life's mirrors dance, the righteous ways betray
Ne'er shall I walk the path of fools while the court of truth holds sway
Within I stand life sentenced, my verdict handed down
The ringside seats are all sold out this circus has no clown

Truth of life is all my learning
Love of life is what I'm feeling
All my senses, all my being
Vision's light in all my seeing

Truth of life is all my learning
Love of life is what I'm feeling
All my senses, all my being
Vision's light in all my seeing
