lyrics

Lament for the Dead

New year arrives and bleeds with death
Distant sirens and final breaths
Love, loss and fear everywhere
The silence of darkness chokes the air

Lament for the dead

The certainty of poverty takes you away
Arrives in the evening or the break of day
Knock on the door it couldn’t be for you
It felt like a dream until it came true

Lament for the dead

The birds of spring so heavenly in their song
How can beauty and sorrow both belong?
We are blinded by the dying of the light
The army of hearses fade into the night

Lament for the dead
Last words, desperate tears, and final goodbyes
The more we remember the more we cry
Love holds us tight just like a drug
One last kiss one final hug

Lament for the dead
