Weight of the Dead

"I lost the last of my hope on that night

when the morning never came

Staring in the eye of all those ghosts of loss

And like the plague it crushed me

On the eve of a new moon"

I'm made of filth, of lies

No clean blood runs in me

I've turned to everything I hate

Black blood and dirt in a human shell

Leaving these trails of betrayal

Cold lifeless flesh, a so called man

Choking on the pain of others

In my own lies I drown

Happiness was all I reached for

But sure, no one deserves it

That dim light I still held, finally faded

There was so much in me that I trusted

But so little I knew

The weakness I held was stronger than anything

And it turned me into arrows for the ones I truly loved

Forgive me for falling

I know you all trusted in me

But I'm made of filth, of lies

No good blood runs in me

Forgive me all, no more hope
