[00:00.000]There Was a Life - Trans-Siberian Orchestra
[00:16.740]There was a life
[00:20.408]Was there before
[00:23.778]But somehow here upon this night
[00:27.508]It now means more
[00:30.877]And all those words
[00:34.327]She tried to say
[00:37.777]I've now forgotten
[00:39.996]Or they've somehow slipped away
[00:44.135]And in this darkness
[00:47.864]Is there salvation
[00:51.304]Is there forgiveness
[00:54.814]For hesitation
[00:58.244]Can someone tell me
[01:01.744]Can someone say when
[01:05.844]The writer of this story
[01:08.983]Will just tell us how it all will end
[01:20.503]And somewhere on this night
[01:26.770]There's a wave on the ocean
[01:30.309]That crashes on shores
[01:33.307]Where no one can see
[01:36.405]The tides and the currents
[01:39.403]Decide every motion
[01:42.263]From where they are now
[01:45.263]To where they will be
[01:48.383]It cradles them all
[01:50.463]For they all are it's children
[01:53.902]If one drop disappears
[01:56.952]It is instantly missed
[02:00.132]And after each wave
[02:02.412]Has joined up with the shoreline
[02:06.152]It returns to the sea
[02:10.391]For that is it's one wish
[02:23.060]There was a light
[02:26.790]Was there before
[02:30.389]But in the darkness of this night
[02:34.339]It now means more
[02:37.309]To be so close
[02:40.619]To be so near
[02:44.089]To see the water there within
[02:47.779]A young child's tear
[02:50.919]And in our blindness
[02:54.509]Do we move onward
[02:58.019]And cling to the lies
[03:01.469]That we have harbored
[03:04.949]We could not admit
[03:08.369]We were mistaken
[03:12.068]But if we don't do it now
[03:15.227]Dear God could you please come
[03:17.817]Down here
[03:18.817]And tell me when
[03:26.217]And somewhere on this night
[03:31.977]There's a wave on the ocean
[03:35.657]That crashes on shores
[03:38.737]Where no one can see
[03:41.687]The tides and the currents
[03:44.586]Decide every motion
[03:47.545]From where they are now
[03:50.704]To where they will be
[03:53.513]It cradles them all
[03:55.883]For they all are it's children
[03:59.523]If one drop disappears
[04:02.332]It is instantly missed
[04:05.642]And after each wave
[04:07.670]Has joined up with the shoreline
[04:11.339]It returns to the sea
[04:16.019]For that is it's one wish
[04:42.208]In the dead of the night
[04:44.798]Tell me what do you see
[04:47.377]Will you close your eyes child
[04:50.627]And just listen to me
[04:53.075]And remember this now
[04:55.965]Hear these words that I say
[04:58.665]As your story appears
[05:01.615]At the end of the day
[05:04.285]For my meeting with death
[05:07.035]Though it has been delayed
[05:09.835]I have run my hands over
[05:13.085]The end of his blade
[05:15.625]Though the cut wasn't fatal
[05:18.644]Even though it was deep
[05:21.174]Well that wound's never healed
[05:25.664]And the blood it still seeps
[05:49.331]Are you scared of your life
[05:51.980]Are you scared of your death
[05:54.710]Though that day will arrive
[05:57.480]Well it hasn't come yet
[06:00.340]For the days turn to months
[06:03.089]And the months turn to years
[06:05.949]As I see them all now
[06:08.898]Through a prism of tears
[06:11.758]But don't fear tomorrow
[06:14.638]And don't fear the night
[06:17.108]It's where God repairs sorrows
[06:20.347]That enter your life
[06:22.986]The remains of your life
[06:25.584]The remains of the day
[06:28.273]Well protect every hour
[06:31.502]Don't give them away
[06:33.792]For each evening we sleep
[06:36.722]And each morning we arise
[06:39.402]But you're not the same man
[06:42.312]That's the way it's devised
[06:45.162]For there're parts of yourself
[06:47.802]The soul decides to keep
[06:50.492]And there're parts of yourself
[06:53.362]That the soul does release
[06:56.232]With some changes so small
[06:59.092]That they cannot be seen
[07:02.062]But death is like sleep
[07:06.662]With a longer dream
[07:30.162]Are you scared of your life
[07:32.610]Are you scared of your death
[07:35.480]Though that day will arrive
[07:38.240]Well it hasn't come yet
[07:41.000]As for all those mistakes
[07:43.870]That you've made in your life
[07:46.569]Must they stay as they are
[07:49.439]Or can we make them right
[07:52.149]On this night take my hand
[07:54.989]Keep me near keep me close
[07:57.789]And if I should die first
[08:00.629]Could I not be your ghost
[08:03.359]But if later in life
[08:06.168]We should happen to meet
[08:08.998]Would you keep me so near
[08:12.008]You could hear my heartbeat
[08:14.588]There are reasons to live
[08:17.408]There are reasons to die
[08:20.238]But the end's not the end
[08:25.008]While you're still alive
[08:31.978]Alive
[08:37.528]Alive
[08:59.068]While you're still a
[09:09.857]There was a life
[09:14.216]Was there before
