the great disappointment

• afi'nin sing the sorrow albümünden bir parça.
  
  i can remember a place i used to go
  chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful
  i can remember, i searched for the amaranth
  i'd shut my eyes... to see
  
  oh, how i smiled then, so near the cherished ones
  i knew they would appear... saw not a single one
  oh, how i smiled then, waiting so patiently
  i'd make a wish... and bleed
  
  while i waited i was wasting away
  while i waited i was wasting away
  
  i can remember... dreamt them so vividly
  soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me
  i can remember when i first realized
  dreams were the only place to see them
  
  while i waited i was wasting away
  while i waited i was wasting away
  while i waited i was wasting away
  hope was wasting away
  faith was wasting away
  i was wasting away
  
  i never, never wanted this
  i always wanted to believe
  i never, never wanted this
  how could i have become?
  i never, never wanted this
  but from the start i'd been deceived
  i never, never wanted this
  how could i have become?
  
  i never, never wanted this
  i always wanted to believe
  i never, never wanted this
  i never, never wanted this
  but from the start i'd been deceived
  i never, never wanted this
  
  inside a crumbling effigy
  but you promised
  so dies all innocence
  but you promised me
  
  while i waited i was wasting away
  while i waited i was wasting away
  while i waited i was wasting away
  hope was wasting away
  faith was wasting away
  i was wasting away
• afi grubunun yaptıgı en iyi şarkılarından biri.."while i waited i was wasting away" kısmını öyle güzel söylüyorlarki, soyleyecek soz bulamıyorsunuz.
• 22 ekim 1844'de hz.isa'nın geri geleceğini düşünen bir hristiyan grubun beklentilerine karşılık alamaması sonucu mevzubahis güne verilen ad. "büyük hayal kırıklığı".
