Hardened by life
Colder than time
What’s been seen still haunts
What’s heard still frightens
Last gasp of desperation
Truth be told to face expiration
Your will was shaken
Your ways betrayed them
Beyond what’s promised to all
You’ll never want to see
Behind the blackest tears
You’ll never want to know what’s
Behind the blackest tears
Behind the blackest tears
Nothing lives, nothing loves
Behind the blackest tears
All secrets are abandoned
Drifting through
It echoes into her
Eyes sting as she peers into the past
Tracing steps, through horrors revealed
Standing before the altar as the victims kneel
You’ll never want to see
Behind the blackest tears
You never want to know what’s
Behind the blackest tears
Last gasp of desperation
Truth be told to face expiration
Your will was shaken
Your ways betrayed them
Beyond what’s promised to all
No one should ever see what’s
Behind the blackest tears
