On quiet nights like these when the windsong in the trees Echoes through the city streets With the scratching of dead leaves There's a stillness in the air and though I don't know why I recognize this stillness as a thing that I despise For it doesn't do a thing to hide The agony I feel inside The fire within burning bright Such is the cost of life On silent nights like these when the talons of the breeze Dig into your flesh and pull you back into disease There's an atmosphere of peace Around me that I can't escape And the ugly truth is that this peace is something that I hate For it doesn't do a thing to hide The agony I feel inside The fire within burning bright Such is the curse of life If all life came without sorrow or pain We'd have nothing to lose and nothing to gain If all life came without sorrow or pain We'd have remained in the exact same place Our pain is how we gain Sorrows are how we grow This curse is how we learned Everything we know And it will only amplify The agony we feel inside The fire within burning bright Such is the cause of life

Windsong
On quiet nights like these when the windsong in the trees Echoes through the city streets With the scratching of dead leaves There's a stillness in the air and though I don't know why I recognize this stillness as a thing that I despise For it doesn't do a thing to hide The agony I feel inside The fire within burning bright Such is the cost of life On silent nights like these when the talons of the breeze Dig into your flesh and pull you back into disease There's an atmosphere of peace Around me that I can't escape And the ugly truth is that this peace is something that I hate For it doesn't do a thing to hide The agony I feel inside The fire within burning bright Such is the curse of life If all life came without sorrow or pain We'd have nothing to lose and nothing to gain If all life came without sorrow or pain We'd have remained in the exact same place Our pain is how we gain Sorrows are how we grow This curse is how we learned Everything we know And it will only amplify The agony we feel inside The fire within burning bright Such is the cause of life
