The Faded Earth
Johan Ericson
Break me, I failed to be the one
Grey sun, fading in my mind
The desolate withered tree
The faded earth swallows me
My sorrow, she's here with me
As beautiful as only she can be
Among ruins of guilt
Earth fading still
We despair, we die
In rapture
Don't you know it has gone too far?
The place we loved been torn apart
I feel disgust of what we have become
Motherless children in the eclipse of the sun
The faded earth, the heavy sky
Looks down on me, at least I try
In agony I realize
These hopeful tears, about to die
We make ourselves a world apart
Behind light words that tease and flout
But, oh, the agitated heart
'Til someone find us really out
Among ruins of guilt
Earth fading still
We despair, we die
In rapture
