Lyrics To Cast The Mourning Shadow - Epicurean

To Cast The Mourning Shadow

And when the rain came down
Over the hills and through this valley
The midnight moon shined down on me
Illuminating all that shimmers in this place
I haven’t spoken since it happened
Words turn to dust in my mouth
By tonight bring solace
To cast the mourning shadow
But I still see her face
Every moment that I’m awake
I haven’t spoken since it happened
Words turn to dust in my mouth
By tonight bring solace
Was it the impact that broke her body?
While I sat beside unscathed
The windshield shattered from the concussion
The class scorched my face that burned so
I held her head by the roadside
And wiped the blood from her face
The words that sent from her mouth
Could only keep me silent
And with the breath of those words aside
Her last tear touched the pavement
I pulled her close to my chest
To hear her heart beat faster
Her trembling voice cut through me
Will I make it through this night?
I tried to conjure an answer
But my tongue had frozen
My love, the source of my yearning
Not long for this world
I sat blindly as she slipped away
And died in my arms
The aroma of gas still soaked in my clothes
And blood not of my own
Now at this moment, my body went numb
All life’s red lust was gone
It all dies with her that night
All of my sins, all of my soul
All I’d given won’t gain control, yet I know
All of my fears become one
And within this tragedy
I know life’s fragility burn
That nothing remains unbroken
And forever is a myth that liars have spoken
Dark unfolding, cast the shadow over me
Bleak unfolding, cast the shadow of us all
To cast the mourning shadow
To cast the mourning shadow
