Silent cries echo in this peaceful place Eyes closed, nothing more to say In the finest crest of ebony A familiar name carved in ivory I will forever owe my first one For grabbing me Needing me, returning me Facing tomorrow We walked through halls of pain, holding close Earth Mother and this father, earthbound together We brought the memories home, holding close Earth Mother and this father, earthbound forever The earth now treasure my deprived Once soft and pale, these memories stain Underneath this stone a truth so cruel All so divine the scavenger awaits its prey This burden of grief pulling in me So much colder and with no relief Will your deeds make the scale sway the right way The truth to it all revealed This hopeless life I led My own blood I let shed My body so weak and sore Waiting to be decomposed Overwhelmed by this tragedy Wrapped up in harmony Close my eyes, no more will to be As nature is delivering me This burden of grief pulling in me So much colder and with no relief Will your deeds make the scale sway the right way The truth to it all revealed Here in this garden of memories I have searched for some clues to life Feedback from those resting so wise I wish they could tell me, it's all a lie I believed in a life so delight I'm so crestfallen by the truth so cold After the storm there will be light But right now I don't want to arise I believed in a life so delight I'm so crestfallen, by the truth so cold After the storm there will be light But right now I don't want to arise We walked through halls of pain, holding close Earth Mother and this father, earthbound together We brought the memories home, holding close Earth Mother and this father, earthbound forever
