Listen to this song of mine
these silent words i sing
listen to this broken heart
the world you shattered at it’s seam
In the quiet night I’m crying
seeing your face in shadow high
in this shattered twilight calling
praying for you to be by my side
Listen to my song this morning
this requeim for the dead
listen to my tear drops falling
raining down upon your head
In the past I saw your shadow
the puff of death in breath
and cried alone knowing future
that one day it would end
Listen to my lonely tune
this shadow of a song
hear the heart you tore in two
and know that you were wrong
your waxen in your coffin
smile out of reach
your cold in lonely twilight
beyond my mightiest feats
that ember of the murder
still warm along your lips
shakes me to my core
breaks my heart to bits
