Facing Tomorrow

Silent cries echo in this peaceful place

Eyes closed, nothing more to say

In the finest crest of ebony

A familiar name carved in ivory

I will forever owe my first one

For grabbing me, needing me, returning me

Facing tomorrow

We walked through halls of pain, holding close

Earth Mother and this father, earthbound together

We brought the memories home, holding close

Earth Mother and this father, earthbound forever

The earth now treasure my deprived

Once soft and pale, these memories stain

Underneath this stone a truth so cruel

All so divine the scavenger awaits its prey

This burden of grief pulling in me

So much colder and with no relief

Will your deeds make the scale sway the right way

The truth to it all revealed...

This hopeless life I led, my own blood I let shed

My body so weak and sore, waiting to be decomposed

Overwhelmed by this tragedy

Wrapped up in harmony

Close your eyes, no more will to be

As nature is delivering me

This burden of grief pulling in me

So much colder and with no relief

Will your deeds make the scale sway the right way

The truth to it all revealed...

Here in this garden of memories, I have searched for some clues to life

Feedback from those resting so wise, I wish they could tell me, it's all a lie

I believed in a life so delight, I'm so crestfallen, by the truth so cold

After the storm there will be light, but right now, I don't want to arise

I believed in a life so delight, I'm so crestfallen, by the truth so cold

After the storm there will be light, but right now, I don't want to arise

We walked through halls of pain, holding close

Earth Mother and this father, earthbound together

We brought the memories home, holding close

Earth Mother and this father, earthbound forever...
