A silent soldier swept back with deep concern.
Eyes open to an early dawn - A dream that is slipping under.
What he cannot see - His life was ending.
As blood and tears combine, his pale eyes fade and die.
Softly his voice wept-
" Please dont forgent me..."
Do you feel human nature was to blame.
Burried deep inside, our heart is sleeping.
Breaking under the weight.
Hear the whispers of thoes who fell- The sound that drowns out life itself.
The clock is winding down - Wish for a moment more.
We all stand in awe - Clinging to what haunts us most.
Just for a moment - Just a moment more.
Hear empty cries of poverty - A cold hymn that calls to us all.
Wrapped in an angelic glow - Her halo clings on with every cry. - She cries not out of fear - she cries out of neglect - Dying alone.
A name spoken from her lips - She calls to her mother, to her father - no one is there.
Was it that wash of light that took her away.
Was it her time...Goodbye.
Her voice would tremble.
"Just never forget me...Dont forget me now."
Do you believe in fate?
Our hearts plea for a moment more.
Hear the whispers of thoes who fell- The sound that drowns out life itself.
The clock is winding down - Wish for a moment more.
We all stand in awe - Clinging to what haunts us most.
Just for a moment - Just a moment more.
The sound follows us deep inside - A ghost from our past.
Walking by headstones - coming to life inside.
Each name was a story in life - each was a face in this masqurade.
At least for a moment.
They just want a moment more.
Hear the whispers of thoes who fell- The sound that drowns out life itself.
The clock is winding down - Wish for a moment more.
We all stand in awe - Clinging to what haunts us most.
Just for a moment - Just a moment more.
Did we forget.
Or did the clock just fail. |
