Torn Lyrics - Novembers Doom

(life) 

I long for days like this 

My heart pounds when you are near 

The gift of life 

Treasure it, for it is pure 

Embrace it with all your heart 

Not a thousand years of pain 

Would be worth the loss of this 

I hold for you a special gift 

And on this day, a new life begins 

(torn) 

Facade the day of forest green 

And calm my breath with words of plight 

A question I ponder this hour 

The light for me, or shadows engulf 

(death) 

I am the answers you seek 

You stand before me 

And I see your sorrow 

Even now, in your agony 

You can have your doubt 

For one last time 

(torn) 

Do I make make the sacrifice? 

To walk among the restless souls? 

How can I let this go on? 

Torn between love and life 

All is dead in my eyes 

(death) 

Close your eyes and welcome the truth 

Innocence is so sweet 

For only the aging of the flesh 

Shall rain upon the sorrows of life 

Admire this touch of heaven 

Before it fades. 

I remember days of old, 

And through your grief, one stands clear. 

I can see you forge a smile 

All these flowers are turning to snow 

For all is lost in your heart 

It's only her love that keeps you alive 

Now's the time for your pain to end 

(life) 

How can I ever live without you? 

This all seems so perfect 

So perfect, until I dream of you 

And your smile is my sunshine 

You deserve more then this 

Your saviour has come 

A strong soul to carry on 

To take you home 

I need you here with me 

Follow me now 

To pick me up when I fall 

Before the sunlight fades
