Tarnished Halo Lyrics


A little girl on the field

 With no worries in the world

 Shall see a war, a revolution

 Even a better tomorrow

 New found peace brought you

 This all new love and life

 You were to have children

 Worked hard to provide

 Must be so lonely in that darkness

 No one will ever know what carries your mind from here to eternity

 You can't quite remember those friendly faces that are near

 But so afar, with hearts so close to touch

 All clouds have silver lining, yet yours is all black

 To keep away all memories and their flowing tears

 Your mind now a tarnished halo, that shines while their whole world falls

 In all the life's turmoil you lasted and prevailed

 Conquered a new meaning

 With grandchildren in your name

 Then something burrowed itself into your soul

 Veiling the spirit once strong enough to repel war

 No one will ever know who takes your mind from here to eternity

 You can't quite remember those friendly faces that are near

 But so afar, with hearts so close to touch

 All clouds have silver lining, yet yours is all black

 To keep away all memories and their flowing tears

 Your mind now a tarnished halo, that shines while their whole world falls

 And as the rust eats away last hope, the walls come down and you see

 Your knight in shining armor

 Taken from you so long ago

 Why were you left behind to suffer

 In this accursed limbo

 Laying at the end of the line

 Waiting for him to come

 Your mind now a shining halo

 That shines when they keep you close to heart

 As the rust slowly fades away

 And the young girl falls to sleep
