It's not the final mix, and there's no mastering.
Lyrics:
Cursed and condemned outcast on the earth
Deprived of love’s light since their day of birth
Captive confined hearts guilty of no crime
But for being born the wrong place and time
They try to hold on hoping they will find
The love that they’ve seen in so many others' eyes
Lovelorn and long-lost, drifting hopelessly
Hiding in plain sight in a crowded sea
Broken shattered souls longing for a touch
Is a hand to hold asking for too much?
Somehow, they hold on knowing they won’t find
The love that they’ve seen in so many others' eyes
CHORUS
They cry out to the saints, they cry out to the savior
They cry out to the heavens in their desperation
They call out to spirits, they call out to the angels
They call out to the void to anyone who’ll listen
They stop themselves so short of making deals with demons
No earthly reward is ever worth damnation
They cry and beg and plead “Oh please, just end our sorrow
Take our tears today and there’ll be no time for tears tomorrow”
Bitter, burning eyes seem to harbor hate
Hardened gazes hide love locked in to stay
Frozen forlorn hearts hungering for warmth
From first beat of life, destined to the dark
Somehow, they’ll hold on, never will they find
The love that they’ve seen in so many others' eyes.
CHORUS
Forgotten, they lie in their nameless graves
Not one goodbye tear, not a mourner came
May their spirits see light of love at last
May they not recall empty earthly past
Somehow they held on, never did they find
The love that they'd seen in so many others' eyes
Believe me when I say you know a soul like this
They’d give anything for just one loving kiss
It's not the final mix, and there's no mastering.
