Bound to the trunk of a tree stretched out for miles
Casting a shadow on all I know of life

I can't seem to shake the thought
The light is taken by the hearse
Its a lesson never learned
Everyday is getting worse

I dissolve into the pain
Pour myself into the guilt
Hanging over me like skies of rain
All the blood that I have spilt

Carried you to heavens gate
I am forced to stay

A celebration
The finale of life
The marriage between
Soil and bride

The blood denies the rose
To carry only memories of loss
A vigil on the side of the road
Her body now belongs to the cross
I am judged and set on fire
At the stand falling deaf to their cries
The bleating of a hundred voices
In unison asking me why

Why did I take a chance and gamble life?
Every sign points me back to the dorm
In my head you say I told you so
We should've left before the storm

The rain washes you away
Forced to stay
