Tears Of The Dead Lyrics

The air hangs thick a suffocating shroud

No sun bleeds through no moon offers solace

Just the unending gnawing darkness a hunger that never sleeps

They say we earned this

Reaped what was sewn

Lied cheated and prayed to false idols of greed and power

They say but what do they know of the desperation

the clawing need to survive in a world already rotting?

The silence is a lie

A fragile skin stretched taut over a screaming abyss

Listen listen closely

Hear it rise

A keening a wail a chorus of fractured souls

The Tears of the Dead

Each drop a memory a burning brand of regret

Each sob a broken promise a betrayal whispered in the dark

They coalesce these tears forming a river of despair

a torrent dragging us further down

We are the echoes of screams forgotten

The shadows clinging to the edge of your nightmares

We are the price you pay for your fleeting moments of joy

purchased our pain our suffering

There is no redemption here

Only the endless circling the gnawing fear

The constant unwavering knowledge

that this is all there is

And the tears the endless tears

They never cease to fall

Forever

echoing

lost

alone

forgotten

Never to be seen never to be heard a soul condemned to the eternal darkness my cries unheard
