lyrics

Oh, and what did they say? When they screamed through purple megaphones, burn the bodies in the hay, and let the bells chime many tones, we are walking fast away from everything we’ve ever known, and I won’t fall to knees and pray, no religious undertones.

Left for dead and there to rot, vultures flying in the clouds, looking down on what is not and what is never to be proud, all the shame and shifting sands, and the nails that hit our veins as the dark grains fall from our hands, burned to ash, the yesterday’s.

We are standing on our knees, out of breath, we cannot crawl, and the demons in the breeze whisper names so sure to fall, in my memories and dreams, there are horrors unforetold, and when I gave you all those things, they were surely not made of gold.
Forget me, forgive me now, please forget me, my everything, please forgive me for what I bring…
