Beautiful Cruel World

(album: Nostalgia VI - 2019)

Let your heart dream free
And you'll find where you belong
It's more delicate, more fragile than all life itself
When I set it free
It always comes back to me
So I'll let it find pace in my embrace

The wish you have, it is fighting through
Your pounding heart that thirst in you
It leaves your mind
'N you forget, in time
Til it calls to you once again

In this Beautiful Cruel World
Chilling and dark and frightening
Are we never to obtain a sign? Or a reason why we're still alive?
Ah
Strong, but we are weak
Cause we fail to see, that soon, in time
There'll be nothing left we can protect
Nothing but a distant life we've left behind

Tell me why the sky above fills my heart with grief?
All the memories, they find the wind and turn to ash
If they're left to be
The warm words, they'll only freeze
So I'll let them find peace in my embrace

I'll hide the pain, thoughts of what could be
Inside a dream, a fantasy
It clings to me, and I struggle free
But it always drags me back down

In this Beautiful Cruel World
Chilling and dark and frightening
We keep begging death to give us time
But we never will give up the fight

Reaching for the sky
You and I are like flightless birds
For we know that beauty favors lies
More than it adorns the truth left in the world

If we could become notes of a melody
We could take our place upon the wind
We could spread our wings and race
To a place so far away
Bringing love... and hope where it's needed most

In this Beautiful Cruel World
Chilling and dark and frightening
Are we never to obtain a sign? Or a reason why we're still alive?
Ah
Strong but we are weak
Cause we fail to see, that soon, in time
There'll be nothing left we can protect
Nothing but a distant life we've left behind
