Beauty In Tragedy

Met enige regelmaat post ik hier nummers die mij aanspreken. Een tijdje terug bijvoorbeeld het nummer Bitter Roots van de band For Today. Op hun laatste album Wake staat het nummer Time And Tide waarin oa geschreeuwd wordt “Strength through suffering”. Alhoewel dat lang niet altijd zo zal voelen, gaat er een enorme kracht en hoop vanuit als iemand dit zegt (of leeft). Dat deed me denken aan het nummer Beauty in Tragedy van August Burns Red. Wat een ontzettend gaaf, hard nummer. Inhoud en vorm perfect samen. Kippenvel. Let op: feisty.

Songteksten

There is beauty in tragedy
The heart won’t stop beating,
For the end is a new beginning
Where sorrow pulls the skyline of reality
And restarts a love ever after
As we grasp beyond defeat

So keep us breathing a little longer a little longer
For just one moment with one another with one another
This night is falling on my hearts shame
These feelings bring tears to my eyes

Just take away my world,
Leave my side
Hear the angels sing,
As I embrace you with a warm welcome home
With a warm welcome home
Hear the angels sing
Hear the angels sing

Tomorrow, the air will be a little colder
But I’ll be sure to breathe for the both of us.
And the nights
May be a little darker
But I’ll be sure to carry the torch to warm the hearts
They’re never gonna have to feel yours
I can hear your voice,
I can’t hear your voice
But that’s okay
‘Cause I can feel you in my heart

I can hear your voice,
I can’t hear your voice
But that’s okay
‘Cause I can feel you in my heart

One morning I’ll wake up to you,
One morning I’ll hear the angels sing.
On that morning we won’t be worried about the weather
Nor will we might wither his life
While the clocks alarm.

I’ll be sure to write your name in the sun
Where the waves can’t wash it away

I’ll be sure to write your name in the sun
Where the waves can’t wash it away

Until then I’ll walk,
Until then I’ll breathe in your name!
Never surrender the dream you had for this world to love, to forgive
To make something out of nothing!

I will feel you, I will hear you forever!
