Sorrow sits on rotted peaks
Her tune is so familiar;
Breaking out the ground beneath
Leaving me so bewildered.
Chasms gape, and pull me in,
This pain will eat me whole-
Sorrow laughs so quietly
As she picks apart my soul.
Til all I know is pulled away
Stripped of joy, asunder;
Sorrow sings a happy song
As all I love is plundered.
I cry in desperation,
A slave unto her whims,
Sorrow tugs a little more
To keep me trapped within.
But like the seasons change,
Sorrow's icy grip retreats
Howling as the new winds blow,
Admitting her defeat.
And as the cloud is lifted,
Like a fire choked,
Sorrow breaths her very last;
Bested by sweet hopes.
A bitter foe, now vanquished-
But not for eternity;
Someday soon, Sorrow will stand
Again to challenge me.
And I shall stand here, ready,
My sword of light, ablaze;
Singing at the darkness
For now, a new tune plays.

Sorrow sits on rotted peaks
Her tune is so familiar;
Breaking out the ground beneath
Leaving me so bewildered.
Chasms gape, and pull me in,
This pain will eat me whole-
Sorrow laughs so quietly
As she picks apart my soul.
Til all I know is pulled away
Stripped of joy, asunder;
Sorrow sings a happy song
As all I love is plundered.
I cry in desperation,
A slave unto her whims,
Sorrow tugs a little more
To keep me trapped within.
But like the seasons change,
Sorrow's icy grip retreats
Howling as the new winds blow,
Admitting her defeat.
And as the cloud is lifted,
Like a fire choked,
Sorrow breaths her very last;
Bested by sweet hopes.
A bitter foe, now vanquished-
But not for eternity;
Someday soon, Sorrow will stand
Again to challenge me.
And I shall stand here, ready,
My sword of light, ablaze;
Singing at the darkness
For now, a new tune plays.
In the depths of despair, light can shine.
