Bury the dead

Bury the dead
The dead lie all around us
the distortions of our past
our complex hearts, though hardened,
still beat with life though life just leaves us doubting
We sought out every answer
to fight our worlds demise
with all our joys lost asunder
this youth of mine
stolen by time

The ones who once were special,
whose words resounded pure
now their gaping mouths spout anger, a ghost of all they were
It’s written in our blood, you see?
these dreams could never last
busy building up this future from the ashes of our past
As the shadows fall
over the truths unsaid within
How could you leave us all alone to bury the dead?
as the ones we were fall away to begin again
Who will be left to remain to stay and bury the dead?
(SOLO)
If forevers gone
when the truth is calling out
how could you leave me here
alone to bury the dead
bury the dead
bury the dead
bury the dead
bury the dead
bury the dead
bury the dead
bury the dead
bury the dead
bury the dead
bury the dead
