With Bitterness And Joy

It has now spread itself all over inside me All the way to the brain and down to my knees My time comes closer with each day it lets me see With each night the pain keeps me from sleep Life has given me much - maybe taken more But those good times were always worth waiting for When it's time for goodbyes I will leave grieving and yet so relieved With bitterness and joy Pleasure and pain; Heaven and Hell - my memories What a long and strange trip this has been for me What a short and strange life this has been It has given me much - maybe taken more But those good times were always worth waiting for When it's time to take leave of this world I will leave with bitterness and joy What a long and strange trip this has been for me What a short and strange life this has been It has given me much - maybe taken more But those good times were always worth waiting for When it's time for goodbyes I will leave grieving and yet so relieved With bitterness and joy Life has given me much - maybe taken more But those good times were always worth waiting for When it's time to take leave of this world I will leave with bitterness and joy --- With Bitterness and Joy - Sentenced and Ville Laihiala
