Forty days and forty nights

You were the drug that kept me alive

During weary timesSeemed so pure when wearing white

Within such a frail and immaculate mind

With those innocent eyes

We were young and full of life

You asked me to swear and in me you confide

Underneath the stars

I should care to let you fly

A chance to retrieve what was left behind

To experience life

Staring at the sky

Staring at the sun

Waiting for a wonder

Within a forsaken land

The sparrow in my hand

Now buried in the sand

Leaving you depending

Leaving me with open veins

Can′t make you wait no more

Can't make you wait nowhere

It′s hard to breathe

Everything's blackening

I am made of flesh and bone

Blood, sweat and tears are all you ever will find

Underneath the skin

You're a feather, I′m a stone

Falling from the depths into the grave

Where I′m destined to dwell

And we reached for mystery

At the edge of reason

Every path we take

We're wandering in blindness

In the end, nothing is

Glorious or honorable

While we drown in doubt

We′re drifting like strangers

Staring at the sky

Staring at the sun

Waiting for a wonder

Within a forsaken land

The sparrow in my hand

Now buried in the sand

Leaving you depending

Leaving me with open veins

Forty days and forty nights

You were the drug that kept me alive

With those innocent eyes
