Forgiven

Piano plays in a silent hall
Echoing verses dwell till dawn
We couldn’t know before
That the world would fall
Playing forever from the heart
Like it’s our last night

Ceasing melody fades away
With the last chord sound
Verses lead you astray
Till dead silence dwells around

I choose this path for me to go through
To leave the past behind
For better days of flowing youth
Fading day by day in time

Like first summer nights
The most precious time ever
I play my part all from the heart
Like I used to do forever
Winning by losing from the start
I write in silence to be heard again
I sing deep inside to be forgiven

For all my sins, for all selfish dreams
I wish I could forgive myself first
Before the world falls down breaking in pieces
I wish I were never broken and lost

Broken mirrors show the darkest reflection
No more chances to see compassion
In that illusion of diamond shimmering
As everything is just a lie still withering
Through the moment of fall
In one blink before it’s gone

Forgive me for all I did and haven’t done yet
My life is changing like a mountain river
I tried so hard that I almost disappeared
Hold me now before my soul withers

This time I’ll find the right way still hidden
Following this feeling
This time I’ll do everything right to be forgiven
Without dark pain within

Promise me I won’t be lost
Tell me it’s not my fault
I won’t be the last or the first
To fall into this dead cold
Just hold me away from the edge
That could become my final page
