There Was A Life Lyrics - Night Castle - Trans Siberian Orchestra

There was a life 

Was there before 

But somehow here upon this night 

It now means more 

And all those words 

She tried to say 

I've now forgotten 

Or they've somehow slipped away 

And in this darkness 

Is there salvation 

Is there forgiveness 

For hesitation 

Can someone tell me 

Can someone say when 

The writer of this story 

Will just tell us how it all will end

And somewhere on this night 

There's a wave on the ocean 

That crashes on shores 

Where no one can see 

The tides and the currents 

Decide every motion 

From where they are now 

To where they will be 

It cradles them all 

For they all are its children 

If one drop disappears 

It is instantly missed 

And after each wave 

Has joined up with the shoreline 

It returns to the sea 

For that is its one wish 

Photos 

There was a light 

Was there before 

But in the darkness of this night 

It now means more 

To be so close 

To be so near 

To see the water there within 

A young child's tear 

And in our blindness 

Do we move onward 

And cling to the lies 

That we have harbored 

We could not admit 

We were mistaken 

But if we don't do it now 

Dear God could you please come 

Down here 

And tell me when 

And somewhere on this night 

There's a wave on the ocean 

That crashes on shores 

Where no one can see 

The tides and the currents 

Decide every motion 

From where they are now 

To where they will be 

It cradles them all 

For they all are its children 

If one drop disappears 

It is instantly missed 

And after each wave 

Has joined up with the shoreline 

It returns to the sea 

For that is its one wish 

In the dead of the night 

Tell me what do you see 

Will you close your eyes child 

And just listen to me 

And remember this now 

Hear these words that I say 

As your story appears 

At the end of the day 

For my meeting with death 

Though it has been delayed 

I have run my hands over 

The end of his blade 

Though the cut wasn't fatal 

Even though it was deep 

Well that wound's never healed 

And the blood it still seeps 

Are you scared of your life 

Are you scared of your death 

Though that day will arrive 

Well it hasn't come yet 

For the days turn to months 

And the months turn to years 

As I see them all now 

Through a prism of tears 

But don't fear tomorrow 

And don't fear the night 

It's where God repairs sorrows 

That enter your life 

The remains of your life 

The remains of the day 

Well protect every hour 

Don't give them away 

For each evening we sleep 

And each morning we arise 

But you're not the same man 

That's the way it's devised 

For there're parts of yourself 

The soul decides to keep 

And there're parts of yourself 

That the soul does release 

With some changes so small 

That they cannot be seen 

But death is like sleep 

With a longer dream 

Are you scared of your life 

Are you scared of your death 

Though that day will arrive 

Well it hasn't come yet 

As for all those mistakes 

That you've made in your life 

Must they stay as they are 

Or can we make them right 

On this night take my hand 

Keep me near keep me close 

And if I should die first 

Could I not be your ghost 

But if later in life 

We should happen to meet 

Would you keep me so near 

You could hear my heartbeat 

There are reasons to live 

There are reasons to die 

But the end's not the end 

While you're still alive 

Alive 

Alive 

While you're still a... 

There was a life 

Was there before
