The Great Disappointment Lyrics

The Great Disappointment lyrics

I can remember a place I used to go.
Chrysanthemums of white,
they seemed
so beautiful.
I can remember. I searched for amaranth.
I’d shut my eyes
to see.
Oh, how I smiled then,
so near the cherished ones.
I knew they
would appear…saw not a single one.
Oh, how I smiled then,
waiting so
patiently.
I’d make a wish and bleed.
While I waited I was wasting
away.
I can remember…dreamt them so vividly,
soft creatures draped in
white,
light kisses gracing me.
I can remember when I first
realized
dreams were the only place to see them.
While I waited I was
wasting away.
Hope was wasting away.
Faith was wasting away.
I was
wasting away.
I never, never wanted this.
I always wanted to
believe,
but from the start I’d been deceived.
I never, never wanted
this.
Inside a crumbling effigy,
so dies all innocence.
But you
promised me…
