Anathema

A right to remain

Bearing the scars of

This world - never deserved

The strength to sustain

Systematically scorching

This world - never deserved

A chance to leave

An imprint upon the stars

A life to regain

Is a life worth disdain

When the only world left

Has been consumed in flames

Send your cries to a vacant sky

Shrouded in darkness, I stand

Pleading for the light to shine again

I speak with my eyes

To denounce the origin

Of centuries draped in black

Tears are lost into the rain

Which washes away

The hope to remain

Send your cries to a vacant sky

Shrouded in darkness, I stand

Pleading for the light to shine again

Send your cries to a vacant sky

Shrouded in darkness, I stand

Pleading for the light to shine again
