"In Vein" lyrics

What is this feeling that just struck me?
The sunlight streaming on my face
Somewhere between eternal loneliness
And how I felt the time my photos got erased

Can I not bottle up this beauty?
Can I do nothing for the pain?
I'll tell my son to do his duty
To be a link within the chain
I want to know if it's all in vain

The hurricanes have come to haunt us
Seems like they're speaking with the rain
And so we'll curse the sky above
But we're the ones who made it fall this way

Someday I'll be an ancient relic
Of a long forgotten age
And this same feeling cutting through me
I'll be grasping at the memories as they fade
I want to know if it's all in vain
I want to call this feeling by name

What gives me hope within the wreckage
Of the vessel of our courage ever sure?
And would I forfeit all my pleasure
If I could give it straight to those who suffer more?
I want to know if it's all in vain
I want to know if it's all in vain
I want to call this feeling by name
I want to know if it's all in vain
