This silent evening with its moon so bright Sitting here on the path of life, everyone is gone out of sight Went through all these dark nights (alone) With the memories of the past (so dreary) All these tears I've shed My wounds will never mend Over every river I've walked And every endless field I've crossed Every drop of blood I've lost Every little wound it has cost Every word I've said And every mistake I've made Wished you could be here by my side Feel all the pain that's in my mind
The tears I cried came from a shadow inside A sorrow so painful from which I can't hide
This solitary life cuts through me like a knife Piercing my memories to reopen the scar And as my soul cries still do I smile This scar within built by lies so thin
Shouldn't I learn from my mistakes? The tears it causes the pain it forsakes If words could be renewed and replaced Would it be a different matter with another face?
Oh have I dread this perpetual sorrow This perished orchid does no longer grow My last breath before to rest I'm laid Evermore alone I seize my blade
"On a dark November night silence spoke a word so mere a word fraught with lingering pain and boundless fear a message that strangled the starkest dose of hope I closed my eyes grasped my life and strained the rope"
