I love that song, it's definitely one of the more passionate tracks on the album. And I hope that that's the second single, I think it might be.}} | I love that song, it's definitely one of the more passionate tracks on the album.

Lyrics
I will wander till the end of time
torn away from you
I pulled away to face the pain
I close my eyes and drift away
over the fear that I will never find a way to heal my soul
and I will wander till the end of time
torn away from you
My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us from sorrow's hold
Over my heart
I can't go on living this way
But I can't go back the way I came
chained to this fear that I will never find a way to heal my soul
and I will wander till the end of time
half alive without you
My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us
Change
Open your eyes to the light
I denied it all so long, oh so long
Say goodbye
Goodbye
My heart is broken
release me, I can't hold on
deliver us
My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us
My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us from sorrow's hold
