"Despair" lyrics

Amorphis Lyrics

"Despair"

I run through the night
On this arduous journey
A heavy burden in my heart
A whole life on my shoulders
Gone are all the familiar places
I know my world no more
Sapped away my strength
Blocked each road and byway

Starless is the sky tonight
The world frozen in silence
Broken only by the roar
Starless is the sky tonight
The world frozen in silence
Broken only by the roar
Of Tuonela's distant rapids

I stumble on the rocks
Drift down roads so grimy
Been lost from those that I once knew
Fleeing from shade to shadow
Collapse on the side of a ditch
I roll into black water
Sucked in by the whirlpool
I sink into oblivion
I sink into oblivion
I sink into oblivion

Starless is the sky tonight
The world frozen in silence
Broken only by the roar
Of Tuonela's distant rapids

Starless is the sky tonight
The world frozen in silence
Broken only by the roar
Starless is the sky tonight
The world frozen in silence
Broken only by the roar
Of Tuonela's distant rapids
