The Song of the Lost

How was I supposed to know

That a wounded soul would heal so slow

You needed love but love is dead

Ready to paint the world in red

Why did you ever let me see

The death in life and the death in me

The tears shall forever fall

Why do I find it so hard to breathe

And oh so easy to lie down and bleed

Drained of joy and left to rot in hell

There's nothing left but a soul to sell

Why did you ever let me see

The death in life and the death in me

Bring forth the tears caressing

My skin is pale and cold as ice

Bring forth the healing winds of time

This pain is both yours and mine

In silence waits the weapon cold

The key to freedom that I now hold

A dying reflection of a wasted life

My blood is ready to taste the knife

Why did you ever let me see

The death in life and the death in me

Bring forth the tears caressing

My skin is pale and cold as ice

Bring forth the healing winds of time

This pain is both yours and mine
