lyrics

IF HEAVEN KNOWS MY NAME
Hello, hello
Is that me in there?
You’ve been hiding from yourself for so many years
Hello, hello
Do you need someone who cares?
The darkness and its cold embrace will only bring you tears

I have lived here all alone in a world that is rushing by
And that's no place for one who always falls behind
I have felt the hopelessness of failing to suffice
Is there a way to see beyond these tears that cover up my eyes?

Hello, hello
Is there really someone there?
Been searching for myself for so many years
Here inside this darkest hole
There is nothing left to soothe my soul
Through the suffering and the pain
I'll leave this place where sanity is frail

It has been so many years since I have seen a face
And in this emptiness I found myself alone again
And here the memories linger on and on and on and on
But the pain...
I can't take no more!
I must wake up and try to carry on

If heaven knows my name
I know I can go on
To where my soul belongs
And if heaven calls my name
I know I'll be set free
From earthly misery

(Organ: Eirik)
(Lead: Leviathan)
