Vale of Tears

Nature’s white overwhelming all
But I’m on the side of the shadows
The world spins around where the world is white
On the other side
So many stories written to an end
The battles all lost, voices fading in the wind
Defeats and victories
On the open ground
We’ll rise or we’ll fall
In the vale of tears
Rivers running deep
Tears of agony and gratitude
The vale of tears
Back against the wall
Adjust to the storm
My winter war
Waiting for the sun
A spark for my soul
At the moment of the wolf
I’m without a shelter
Fight for the new world
From the ashes of the old
On the open ground
We’ll rise or we’ll fall
In the vale of tears
Rivers running deep
Tears of agony and gratitude
The vale of tears
Back against the wall
Adjust to the storm
To the storm of your life
There is no remorse
A revolution in silence
We rise or we fall
But when we learn what we live for
Gathering the shattered remains of faith
Rise against the fire
