The Great Disappointment

Lyrics for The Great Disappointment

I can remember a place I used to go Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful I can remember, I searched for the 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 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 While I waited I was wasting away While I waited I was wasting away Hope was wasting away, faith was wasting away, I was wasting away I never, never wanted this, always wanted to believe I never, never wanted this, how could I have become? I never, never wanted this, from the start I'd been deceived I never, never wanted this, how could I have become? I never, never wanted this, I always wanted to believe I never, never wanted this I never, never wanted this, from the start I'd been deceived I never, never wanted this Inside a crumbling effigy But you promised So dies all innocence But you promised me While I waited I was wasting away While I waited I was wasting away While I waited I was wasting away Hope was wasting away, faith was wasting away, I was wasting away
