The Archway of Tears

They laughed loudly
Had no cares
Their hands dirty
Said no prayers

Dark streets hide the sunrise
All things come to pass and
No smile from her blue eyes
Her soul comes unfastened

Oh don't be afraid of the truth
Oh don't be afraid
There's no excuse

Long time incoming
Long time gone
They say keep running
But what from?

She's seen all the good intentions
Like the archway of tears
Long time incoming
Run through the years

Stained glass broken
Ruby and blue
The shrine's empty
No taboo

She's not seen the ocean
Night time, fiery stacks burn
No nails on her fingers
She vows not to return

Yeah she finds it hard to believe
She's so afraid
We all get deceived

Long time incoming
Long time gone
They say keep running
But what from?

She's seen all the good intentions
Like the archway of tears
Long time incoming
Run through the years

Work a lifetime maybe
Get nowhere
It's a fine line maybe
To get there

Long time incoming
Long time gone
They say keep running
But what from?

She's seen all the good intentions
Like the archway of tears
Long time incoming
Run through the years

Long time incoming
Long time gone
They say keep running
But what from?

She's seen all the good intentions
Like the archway of tears
Long time incoming
Run through the years
