Eternity Part I Lyrics - Anathema

As I turn away from a life so grey 

Where have all the flowers gone? 

Just what went wrong? 

Innocence, insanity, irony 

Stone cold reality 

Oh lord come and save me 

Do you think we're forever? 

I've been in tears 

Hope has died in me 

But now I'm here, I don't wish to leave 

Trapped in time 

A miracle of hope and change 

A swirling mass no mercy now 

If the truth hurts prepare for pain 

Do you think we're forever? 

The unseen, the eternal river of understanding 

Persevering, dying escape 

Forever tempting fate 

Take me back 

A flood of tears bonding my soul with my mind 

A dream of love, reality closing in behind 

As I close my eyes, the vision dies 

As I bid my last farewell to mankind 

The unseen, the eternal river of understanding 

Persevering, dying escape 

Forever tempting fate 

Take me back
