DRAGONFORCE - SEASONS ACCOUSTIK VERSION (LYRICS)

im searching through emptyness
and try to forget as in vain
the light of the dark setting sun
will bring my sadness to an end

voices cry out through the fear and the dark
as we wait for our lives to be better
the worlds are dying in the night
the winter lasts for ever
the seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
so let the past... now burnt out in flames

locked in a prison
in a world of living fear
on the edge of my destruction marching on
still suffer in darkness
with the dreams of life, my meant to be
as the lie awaken curse the rising sun

sadness inside from the truth that she hides
and is pain in my heart for no reason
the worlds are dying in the night
the winter lasts for ever
the seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
so let the past, now burnt out in flames

voices cry out thrugh the fear and the dark
as we wait for our lives to be better
the worlds are dying in the night
the winter lasts for ever
the seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
so leave the past behind

the dark clouds are fading from my mind
no pain will last forever
the seasons pass and sunlight will shine on my life again
so let the past now burnt out in flames
burnt out in flames
