Forty Days Lyrics
Forty Days (四十天) - Streetlight Manifesto
And it's been forty days
I've tried forty ways
You will never quite leave your sins behind
They'll haunt you taunt you until the day you die
You will never really go
You'll just think about it much but you'll need to know how the story ends
So you'll sit around even though you should just go
Tell your friends what you have heard show them all the lies unlearned
And when you really go you will really know you were never meant for earth
What's it worth
If we're going to break it down with any logic it's absurd
And no matter where we go we are not alone
When the silence turns to cries of why
What a way to begin we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry
Well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
I've tasted seven sins so they won't let me in
I knock knock knock until my knuckles are bruised and raw
Stuck in the middle with my blood in a puddle on the floor
We made our beds we'll judge ourselves
And only then and there will we disappear to our final resting place
What a waste
So many decent people at the gates
And no matter where we go we are not alone
When the silence turns to cries of why
What a way to begin we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry
Well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
And no matter who you know you will be alone
When the silence turns to cries of why
What a way to begin we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
