Silent cries echo in this peaceful place
Eyes closed, nothing more to say
In the finest crest of ebony
A familiar name carved in ivoryI will forever owe my first one
For grabbing me
Needing me, returning me
Facing tomorrowWe 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 foreverThe 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 preyThis 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 revealedThis 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 meThis 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 revealedHere 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 lieI 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 ariseI 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 ariseWe 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
