When The World Comes Apart lyrics

I'm not a hero's story, I'm not a traitor's lie!

I'm not everything they said.

I'm not here to save you, I'm not your confessor!

My sins alone could wake the dead.

But do you understand? Nothing can make it better!

Nothing can make it go away.

And do you understand that we are lost to ruin?

And this will be our end of days.

And when the sun fell down...

And when the moon failed to rise...

And when the world came apart...

...where were you? Were you with me?

And when my light burned out...

And when my fire is cold...

And when my breath is the wind...

...where will you be, dear God?

I have no forgiveness, I have a heart of stone!

I am a lesson born of greed.

I am torn and twisted, I am a broken bone!

I am what you made of me.

But do you understand that none of this will matter?

Nothing can take our pain away.

And do you understand that everything is shattered...

...and so the whole world is to blame?

And when the sun fell down...

And when the moon failed to rise...

And when the world came apart...

...where were you? Were you with me?

And when my light burned out...

And when my fire is cold...

And when my breath is the wind...

...where will you be, dear God?

And when the sun fell down...

And when the moon failed to rise...

And when the world came apart...

...where were you? Were you with me?

And when my light burned out...

And when my fire is cold...

And when my breath is the wind...

...I will find you, dear God.
