The Strand – Cleanse lyrics

There's no greater pain
Than a love that's not returned
There's no greater need
Than affection that's received

A failed love is a wicked sight
Torrential pain and sleepless nights
For broken hearts there is no cast
Eternity is a time long passed

Tiny steps to mend the heart
Tears to wash away the scars
And recreate the soul to be
Cleanse the crown till the king is free

[Pain, returned, need, received]

And now the famine took away
The love we craved for oh so long
Shallow goals are healthy things
For starving souls who ate like kings
