A Higher Claim Lyrics

LOST MY DREAMS WITHIN A FIRE,
DESPAIR DESTROYED ALL MY BELIEFS.
FOR I THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE IN HARMONY...
CRUEL DEEDS THAT TOOK MY WEALTH.

STRANGE WORDS ARE RELEASED FROM MY LIPS,
PRAYERS THAT SEEK A HIGHER CLAIM.

WHAT HAVE I DONE FOR YOU TO HATE ME?
I NEVER WISHED THIS LOSS TO ANYONE.
HAD ONLY MY FAITH TO SURVIVE,
THE CLOUDS ARE CRYING,
EVERYTHING IS GONE!

STILL, I’M HELD BY DEATH’S FOE,
NEITHER HATE NOR GUILT SHALL RUIN MY NAME.

I’LL TELL THE WORLD I’M STILL HERE,
HOW STRANGE IT SEEMS TO ME,
FOR I KNOW I’M ONE MORE VICTIM,
BUT FAR FROM INNOCENCE IT SEEMS.

STRANGE WORDS ARE RELEASED FROM MY LIPS,
PRAYERS THAT SEEK AN HIGHER CLAIM.

THE SUN BRIGHTENS THE HORIZON ONCE MORE
AND THE WIND SUSTAINS MY VITAL BREATH.
DON’T KNOW WHERE PARADISE IS FOUND,
BUT IN MY FAITH I’LL FIND MY REST,
FOREVER… AND EVER!
