From the recording Hopelessness

Lyrics

sunlight's peeking through the leaves
a canopy of yellow green towering over me
the freeway rolls on somewhere
I can hear but I can't see

lost among the forest and the trees
the moon makes her journey over land
like god rolling this old world over in his hand
and I'm not sure the sun will ever break the sky again

lost here in the darkness giving in

the wilderness and trials I am in
carve a valley in my heart like the rivers and the wind
and it will not be over until I reach the end
the wilderness and trials I am in

the endless oceans roar swallows the sun
the bright red ball it disappears upon the waters tongue
the sky breaks for in agony the scarlet billows run
crimson robes of a kingdom come

the stars that decorate the empty sky
seem so close together but I know that it's a lie
a hundred million miles before you reach those burning lights
and by that time they may be dead and gone


the wilderness and trials I am in
carve a valley in my heart like the rivers and the wind
and it will not be over until I reach the end
the wilderness and trials I am in

there's nothing in the great black sky tonight
the endless deep infinity has swallowed up the light
it's hard to hope for winning when you're losing every fight

lost between the darkness and the light
