Trail of Tears
Laying here with blackened empty eyes, forgotten in despair
So many things to say, but not a soul that listens. Gentle caring seems to be a childish wish
Is there a memory, a destiny to believe in?

Shoul I take my life and end this misery
Close my eyes tears falling down like the rain from the sky

Please don't ask me why
I fear that end is near
Is there a reason not to cry?
Hoping to find some peace of mind
Across the dark into the light
Take me home where I belong
This journey on the trail of tears
Please come, come to an end

Wrists destined to bleed in this blackened world soon to fall apart.
Imprisoned flesh need to stay sane from childhood pain

Death is standing revengeful and divine
I step into my world my reality
I feel a cold breeze back on my neck
Oh God I know I'm fallen from grace

Please don't ask me why
I fear that end is near
Is there a reason not to cry?
Hoping to find some peace of mind
Across the dark into the light
Take me home where I belong
This journey on the trail of tears
Please come, come to an end

Please don't ask me why
I fear that end is near
Is there a reason not to cry?
Hoping to find some peace of mind
Across the dark into the light
Take me home where I belong
This journey on the trail of tears
Please come, come to an end
