Lyrics

In silence you lay in blood you lay
eyes wide open yet you cannot see
the warmth of life is gone
absent of all you were

There can be no peace there can be no rest
never will it cease when we close our eyes
your face is clear as day
your voice is in our mind
then its torn away torn away in blood
torn before your time left you there to die
your eyes are open wide frozen by the night
frozen in my mind

There can be no peace within
there is no way to forgive
you were taken from us all
and left to die upon that floor
the shadow of this great loss
has eclipsed all our lives
in the dark we bear the flame
in the dark we speak your name
my heart it died that night with you

There can be no peace within
there is no way to forgive
you were taken from us all
and left to die upon that floor
the shadow of this loss
has eclipsed our lives

I cast this misery from me
in vain the pain remians
in the frozen night death remains
it calls taunting lurking

Years and years the horror remains
time it heals nothing
your voice your face distorted in fear
the blood the frost your eyes open wide
leaves have fallen scattered like ashes
winter has clutched at my heart
my heart it died that night with you

The warmth of your body is sticken
subdued by the clutch of winter
I am awake and dreaming
within my nightmare
numb as your flesh
devoid as your eyes
a fever dream of sorrows
cold sweat and fragile voice
echoes my strangled screams
into a vortex of despair
a scream that wakes me
returns me back to this nightmare

Winter has come again another year
this coldness darkness at my core
I am staggering through memories
I fall upon my knees hand gripping my chest
my heart it died that night with you

There can be no peace within
there is no way to forgive
you were taken from us all
and left to die upon that floor
the shadow of this loss
has eclipsed our lives

The cold remains of your life
looking down into a pool of blood
black as night cold as death
I freefall into the depths
a void numbing silent as a grave
even in this darkness I see your face
now with a smile of knowledge
free me from this misery
