《There Was a Life》歌词

[00:00:00] There Was A Life - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

[00:00:16] There was a life

[00:00:20] Was there before

[00:00:23] But somehow here upon this night

[00:00:27] It now means more

[00:00:30] And all those words

[00:00:34] She tried to say

[00:00:37] I've now forgotten

[00:00:39] Or they've somehow slipped away

[00:00:44] And in this darkness

[00:00:47] Is there salvation

[00:00:51] Is there forgiveness

[00:00:54] For hesitation

[00:00:58] Can someone tell me

[00:01:01] Can someone say when

[00:01:05] The writer of this story

[00:01:08] Will just tell us how it all will end

[00:01:20] And somewhere on this night

[00:01:26] There's a wave on the ocean

[00:01:30] That crashes on shores

[00:01:33] Where no one can see

[00:01:36] The tides and the currents

[00:01:39] Decide every motion

[00:01:42] From where they are now

[00:01:45] To where they will be

[00:01:48] It cradles them all

[00:01:50] For they all are it's children

[00:01:53] If one drop disappears

[00:01:56] It is instantly missed

[00:02:00] And after each wave

[00:02:02] Has joined up with the shoreline

[00:02:06] It returns to the sea

[00:02:10] For that is it's one wish

[00:02:23] There was a light

[00:02:26] Was there before

[00:02:30] But in the darkness of this night

[00:02:34] It now means more

[00:02:37] To be so close

[00:02:40] To be so near

[00:02:44] To see the water there within

[00:02:47] A young child's tear

[00:02:50] And in our blindness

[00:02:54] Do we move onward

[00:02:58] And cling to the lies

[00:03:01] That we have harbored

[00:03:04] We could not admit

[00:03:08] We were mistaken

[00:03:12] But if we don't do it now

[00:03:15] Dear God could you please come

[00:03:17] Down here

[00:03:18] And tell me when

[00:03:26] And somewhere on this night

[00:03:31] There's a wave on the ocean

[00:03:35] That crashes on shores

[00:03:38] Where no one can see

[00:03:41] The tides and the currents

[00:03:44] Decide every motion

[00:03:47] From where they are now

[00:03:50] To where they will be

[00:03:53] It cradles them all

[00:03:55] For they all are it's children

[00:03:59] If one drop disappears

[00:04:02] It is instantly missed

[00:04:05] And after each wave

[00:04:07] Has joined up with the shoreline

[00:04:11] It returns to the sea

[00:04:16] For that is it's one wish

[00:04:42] In the dead of the night

[00:04:44] Tell me what do you see

[00:04:47] Will you close your eyes child

[00:04:50] And just listen to me

[00:04:53] And remember this now

[00:04:55] Hear these words that I say

[00:04:58] As your story appears

[00:05:01] At the end of the day

[00:05:04] For my meeting with death

[00:05:07] Though it has been delayed

[00:05:09] I have run my hands over

[00:05:13] The end of his blade

[00:05:15] Though the cut wasn't fatal

[00:05:18] Even though it was deep

[00:05:21] Well that wound's never healed

[00:05:25] And the blood it still seeps

[00:05:49] Are you scared of your life

[00:05:51] Are you scared of your death

[00:05:54] Though that day will arrive

[00:05:57] Well it hasn't come yet

[00:06:00] For the days turn to months

[00:06:03] And the months turn to years

[00:06:05] As I see them all now

[00:06:08] Through a prism of tears

[00:06:11] But don't fear tomorrow

[00:06:14] And don't fear the night

[00:06:17] It's where God repairs sorrows

[00:06:20] That enter your life

[00:06:22] The remains of your life

[00:06:25] The remains of the day

[00:06:28] Well protect every hour

[00:06:31] Don't give them away

[00:06:33] For each evening we sleep

[00:06:36] And each morning we arise

[00:06:39] But you're not the same man

[00:06:42] That's the way it's devised

[00:06:45] For there're parts of yourself

[00:06:47] The soul decides to keep

[00:06:50] And there're parts of yourself

[00:06:53] That the soul does release

[00:06:56] With some changes so small

[00:06:59] That they cannot be seen

[00:07:02] But death is like sleep

[00:07:06] With a longer dream

[00:07:30] Are you scared of your life

[00:07:32] Are you scared of your death

[00:07:35] Though that day will arrive

[00:07:38] Well it hasn't come yet

[00:07:41] As for all those mistakes

[00:07:43] That you've made in your life

[00:07:46] Must they stay as they are

[00:07:49] Or can we make them right

[00:07:52] On this night take my hand

[00:07:54] Keep me near keep me close

[00:07:57] And if I should die first

[00:08:00] Could I not be your ghost

[00:08:03] But if later in life

[00:08:06] We should happen to meet

[00:08:08] Would you keep me so near

[00:08:12] You could hear my heartbeat

[00:08:14] There are reasons to live

[00:08:17] There are reasons to die

[00:08:20] But the end's not the end

[00:08:25] While you're still alive

[00:08:31] Alive

[00:08:37] Alive

[00:08:59] While you're still a

[00:09:09] There was a life

[00:09:14] Was there before
