| Screams from the embers of the fire
|
| A fading light of a lost empire
|
| Collapsed in timeless haze
|
| Lanterns below the caves
|
| Shine no light for the shadow man
|
| The path to amnesty
|
| Littered in unmarked graves
|
| The innocent swallowed in sand
|
| The hand that grasps for life
|
| Severed clean by the knife
|
| With every cut so deep
|
| How sound the sheltered sleep
|
| Deaf ears to the ring of the siren’s call
|
| I hear they sing in heaven
|
| We’ll never hear the song
|
| Your pain is mine
|
| I am you in another life
|
| Your pain is mine
|
| We were one long ago
|
| Before the earth stole our souls
|
| Your pain is mine
|
| Every god says farewell to their sons
|
| When the bombs come, run
|
| Isolation in a swarm of bullets
|
| Another infant chokes on the halos of smoke
|
| I never saw the truth but now I know it
|
| Consume our sanity
|
| We’ve torn apart society
|
| The hand that grasps for life
|
| Severed clean by the knife
|
| With every cut so deep
|
| How sound the sheltered sleep
|
| Deaf ears to the ring of the siren’s call
|
| I hear they sing in heaven
|
| We’ll never hear the song
|
| Your pain is mine
|
| I am you in another life
|
| Your pain is mine
|
| We were one long ago
|
| Before the earth stole our souls
|
| Painted pictures always seem serene
|
| But the reality is much harsher to see
|
| And I need you to know
|
| That help is out of my reach
|
| Or at least believe me
|
| I wished that you’d find peace
|
| But there’s no action in a thought
|
| Simply lost at sea
|
| Of undeniable complacency and treachery
|
| And I plead that you were given just a chance to be free
|
| Maybe in time, but know I tried
|
| Your pain is mine
|
| Run like your life depends on it
|
| Because one day it will
|
| I’m sorry child
|
| The world wasn’t there to pick up the pieces
|
| It never will |
