You come bearing the sweetest of intentions
But they're not enough to seal old scars
Or deceive even abacinated eyes

Where once was a home now lays an eerie silence
Where muted tongues alone sing
Where shadows wander over scarlet footsteps
Where death is a tyrant king

Enter the broken hall and from the floor gather pieces of humanity
They're no longer needed here
Slit my throat and from cold lips draw a bloody aria
And bathe yourself in the lament of those who once loved

Like in our halcyon days
I still see the sun light up your face
Through the leaves
Come what may
I still seem to long for you
So turn and run!

You come bearing noble thoughts of goodwill
But they're not enough to wash old wounds
Or breathe life into slain hearts stilled for years

Where once was a shelter, a hidden haven
Now echoes an age-old weep
There nest only the asp and raven
In the shrouded void they creep

Enter the broken hall and on the walls smear the remnants of our dreams
They're no longer needed here
Brand my mouth and from the silenced screams draw a bloody aria
And bathe yourself in the memory of those who still hate

Like in those halcyon days
I still see the sun light up your face
Through the leaves
Come what may
I will ever long for you
Until the end
