The Great Disappointment

I can remember a place I used to go.

Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful.

I can remember.

I searched for the amaranth.

I'd shut my eyes to see.

Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones.

I knew they would appear.

Saw not a single one.

Oh, how I smiled then,

waiting so patiently.

I'd make a wish and bleed.



While I waited I was wasting away.

While I waited I was wasting away.



I can remember,dreamt them so vividly,

Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me.

I can remember when I first realized,

dreams were the only place to see them.



While I waited I was wasting away.

While I waited I was wasting away.

While I waited I was wasting away.

Hope was wasting away.

Faith was wasting away.

I was wasting away.



I never, never wanted this.

I always wanted to believe,

I never, never wanted this.

But from the start I'd been decieved.

I never, never wanted this.



Inside a crumbling effigy,

But you promised me.

So dies all innocence.

But you promised me.



While I waited I was wasting away.

While I waited I was wasting away.

Hope was wasting away.

Faith was wasting away.

I was wasting away.
