Demise Of Eros - Of Ages Past (Solaxative)

(Again I find myself losing hope
In everything but Your promises
Without You I hate what I am
With You I see who I might become
Complete what You began so many years ago
Carry on the work begun in ages past
What I have tried is worthless
My efforts achieve nothing
Ashes, ashes, ashes
Left alone I am dust without breath
Blown by the south wind
Blown into the eyes of those I love
I bring weeping not joy
Anger not love)

Give me this new life with You
Show me how to truly live /x2

These self-deprecations are no longer worth my time
Like a man chained to a corpse am I to my regrets
Let the dead bury the dead
Teach me self-abandonment

I will not
I will not look back /x2

My eyes fix on the promise
What will indeed come to pass
The hope of ages past
The hope of ages past is mine

Give me this new life with You
Show me how to
/x2
The hope of ages past is, past is mine
/x2
Give me this new life with You
Show me how to
/x2

(Again I find myself losing hope
Without You I hate what I am

Left alone I am dust without breath
Blown by the south wind
Blown into the eyes of those I love
I bring weeping not joy
Anger not love
Give me this new life with You
Show me how to truly live
My eyes fix on the promise
What will indeed come to pass
The hope of ages past is mine)
