Cenotaph

Dig into the ground
But don’t worry
The blood will wash right out

With your weary eyes
Watch all you love
Wither and die

Behold the eye
Withholding life
Behold the eye

In control, taking over
No eyes, aching to cry
Fix you, can’t wake up
Breaching your thoughts
Now your choice to wake up is revoked
There is nothing left, nothing here
Falling down, lacking the step
Of the independent animal that you were
Faith is not with you now
I am the one that will give you the chance
To give back, to give in
Release, let it go
Be at peace, can’t wake up
There is no life in this lie

Every step
Closer to the brink of lies
Let me fall away
Take a second to recall

Let me go
Stare into the eye
Don’t you see
This place it’s home
It’s all that we’ve known
And you burned it down
Tear it all apart

Every step
Closer to the brink of lies
Let me fall away
Take a second to recall
Like moths to the flame

And I will remember you
In all your glow
For all you gave to us
As we stripped it down
To the core

We break and we burn
The hard truth passing us by
Unflinching and immovable
And I will remember you
In all your glow
For all that you gave

Beaten down
The memory is nothing
I still hear your cry

Fear me now
For I have so much left to give
So much left to take

A memory of light and of shade
A memory I’ll never forget
Ember to ash anew
I will remember you next time

The blood will wash out

And I will remember you
In all your glow
For all that you gave
To the flame
