You are the burning embers
Of a million scars
I feel the cold steel blade of the wars you waged
The pain I can’t disregard
Underneath the surface
Just below my skin
I feel this wrenching pain
When I hear your name
From the shame that I let you in Shifting seasons
You are the knife the wound and the scars
The killing reason
It reminds me who we are
Is all that we are?
All that we are
The photographs are empty
Once I could only see your face
Now all that I see stretching out from me Is the nothingness!
Turned to waste
Once I would have called you
As I trace these steps unknown
Through the wind that chills
I am bleeding still
I will do this on my own
Shifting seasons
You are the knife the wound and the scars
The curious reasons
The cost to great to far
If all that we are is All that we are
At twilights edge
I have seen the dead
In these memories of mine
Where shadows fall
When voices can’t call
In these memories of mine
I have seen the end
The rapture gift my friend
In these memories of mine
You are the scars
You are my scars
The shifting seasons
The killing reasons
If all that we are is All that we are
