forgotten souls burning cold, unspoken words never told
disappearing voices echoing the same old lore
preaching what they cannot see

autumn is here again, now corpses will taste the rain
dreaming about the scars that do not have a name
learning what they cannot be

swallowing as it fades, another sin this world forbade
scars of the world that it nurtured and made
now engraved on me

children dying, a father crying for the one's that do not make it back
a mother is lying to the mirror watching it grow black
whispering love isn't free

another winter to keep, a heart that would weep
watching every waking eye fall back asleep
as scars of the world rage free

eternally
