Temperance - Ashley текст песни

Temperance EP, Conversion Records / 1995

What have I done to deserve this?
What have I done to deserve this,
This life of suffering
And dreams unseen?
I'm just a child so afraid,
For the gift of death, that a mother gave.

Is there no one there to hold these hands?
Is there no one there to share the shadow?
Is there no one to hear the screams,
To hear the screams beneath the smile?

He'll never see tomorrow's dawn.
Never feel the pain of friendships gone.
Never grow to be a man.
Never live this life that others can.

Never live this life,
That we throw away, and take for granted.
In his eyes I can see the spirit we have lost,
And in his heart I can see the strength to heal.

What have I done to deserve this life,
This life of suffering?

What have I done to deserve this life of suffering?

Now I hear your voice again, Ashley.

Now I will be there,
Now I will be there to hear your voice again.
Now Ashley, I will be here to hear the screams.
Now Ashley, I will be here to hold your hand.
Now Ashley, now Ashley, I'm here to heal your suffering.
