shadow-veiled, passing years
 i can't see the sun
 where's the land of friends?
 darkness conquers us
 when the dawn of night begins
 deep beneath my chilling fears
 lives the ocean of my tears
 i don't understand the world
 bodies frozen, love stands still
 as the sun was doomed
 and i turn to look to you
 there are no words i can use
 i can't explain the goings of the world
 dark and cold
 i can't explain misery
 i can't explain cruelty
 i can't explain success of lying
 i turn away
 anger pounds, sorrow surrounds
 i can't stand this pain
 neverending emptiness
 everyday we look away
 we are all alone

 i am sorry
 i can't explain
 cruelty
 misery
