lyrics

The happiness I felt
Creeps into its shell
But now I feel the chills
And the love that kills
Is gone from my brain
And the lilies of the universe
The lilies of the universe remain

Serenity that was
Gone now from my blood
I can hear you cry
“Love is hate in disguise”
But is it I don’t know
And the lilies of the universe
The lilies of the universe will grow

Happiness is gone
Wake up before the dawn
I can see the wind
Cause a stir and a grin
Like the gift I’d never give
And the lilies of the universe
The lilies of the universe will live

Serenity come back
To a mind no longer intact
I can taste my death
For I’ve run out of breath
It will be my demise
And the lilies of the universe
The lilies of the universe will rise
