Santiago's Lament lyrics

[Verse 1]

Close my weary eyes

Under choking clouds of ash and darkest dust

The silver kiss of sleep is lost

I can feel these broken cogs begin to rust

[Chorus]

But when the end finally comes I won't despair

I'll just keep on hoping I might see you there

[Verse 2]

Try to keep a blank page

But these memories they flood my mind with grief

Faces lost forever

And the guilt of feeling some kind of relief

[Chorus]

But when the end finally comes I won't despair

I'll just keep on hoping I might see you there

Maria

Ten long years I could see your ghost

Ten long years I could see your ghost

Ten long years I could see your ghost

Ten long years I could see your ghost

[Bridge]

As this world of twisted metal falls

I can hear the demons tearing down the walls

In the face of so much hate and cruelty

In my mind's eye my angel's all I see

[Chorus]

But when the end finally comes I won't despair

I'll just keep on hoping I might see you there

[Outro]

Maria

Ten long years I could see your ghost

Ten long years I could see your ghost

Ten long years I could see your ghost

Ten long years I could see your ghost
