pressing fading memories between the yellowed pages of time

I sit alone in the passing of twilight 
pressing fading memories between 
the yellowed pages of time

my body covered in criss crossing scars
the good looks of youth long gone
as I waited for the dream to change
while owls hunted and ravens slept
your soft whispers remained on my mind

I wanted to know peace
I wanted to know of love
I wanted something more than tears
I wanted something not tainted in blood
to feel something other than lost

 

I pray to a unknown god 
for all the others haven't listened
that the weight of the tombstones I carry within 
will be abandoned
by my own free will

with no time to grieve,
with no time for goodbyes
I sit alone in the passing of twilight 
pressing fading memories between 
the yellowed pages of time

I thank you but I'll always

I thank you but I'll always bow to you
