The Sadness Lyrics
The stars they sink
In the oceans of ink
Long black ribbons of cars
And in the taxi
You ask me how I'm doing
But you already know
Beyond, beyond is not through
It's only a reflection of you
And something's at the window
It motions with its fingers
Calling me beyond
The sadness is mine
The sadness is mine
It's why you're not helping me
And whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me, spare me
Please oh tell me this is only a warning, no
Please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her I am nothing at all
The change is happening and I'm almost gone
On her heart is my faith
And it wins against the sadness
The train it moves through the desert
The horses they will challenge its stride
And into the boxcar she leaps
And is my hero
And penetrates the demons inside
The clouds they pass
But they're moving so fast
As I watch them collide
Collide and collapse in her arms like a newborn child
And I am at once reborn
The sadness is mine
The sadness is mine
It's why you're not helping me
And whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me, spare me
Please oh tell me this is only a warning, no
Please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her I am nothing at all
The change is happening and I'm almost gone
On her heart is my faith
And it wins against the sadness
The fog in the moat
As he grabs my throat
It lifts as she comes
She opens her cloak and the color of blood
It is the sign of what now must come
Deny, deny me my destiny
I am not ready to go
I am the horror that brings us to the morning
Where I will have to stand and fight God
The sadness is mine
The sadness is mine
It's why you're not helping me
And whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me, spare me
Please oh tell me this is only a warning, no
Please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her I am nothing at all
The change is happening and I'm almost gone
On her heart is my faith
And it wins against the sadness
In the oceans of ink
Long black ribbons of cars
And in the taxi
You ask me how I'm doing
But you already know
Beyond, beyond is not through
It's only a reflection of you
And something's at the window
It motions with its fingers
Calling me beyond
The sadness is mine
The sadness is mine
It's why you're not helping me
And whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me, spare me
Please oh tell me this is only a warning, no
Please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her I am nothing at all
The change is happening and I'm almost gone
On her heart is my faith
And it wins against the sadness
The train it moves through the desert
The horses they will challenge its stride
And into the boxcar she leaps
And is my hero
And penetrates the demons inside
The clouds they pass
But they're moving so fast
As I watch them collide
Collide and collapse in her arms like a newborn child
And I am at once reborn
The sadness is mine
It's why you're not helping me
And whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me, spare me
Please oh tell me this is only a warning, no
Please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her I am nothing at all
The change is happening and I'm almost gone
On her heart is my faith
And it wins against the sadness

Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me, spare me
Please oh tell me this is only a warning, no
Please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her I am nothing at all
The change is happening and I'm almost gone
On her heart is my faith
And it wins against the sadness

this is the first song that really jumped out at me off 29. i love the latin beat to this song.
his music just keeps getting better and better. this song is so powerful and epic. gives me goosebumps everytime i listen
I agree with F.I.G. – Ryan really comes out (bull)fighting on this one...
The lyrics are very good and he delivers them in a very theatrical way. Awesome!
i agree entirely with sum1lseschpstck.but the best part is his vocals.powerful and emotional!
I love that the woman is the hero in this. On her fast horse with her red cape billowing out behind her. He dies just as she conquers his demons and he decides that he doesn't want to die after all, but it's too late, she's too late, and he's too late to tell her that he loves her.
