What can I do? What can I say
When grief is my only way?
Fear of the dust, fear of the fire
Keeps me from where you lay
Open my eyes, arise from my heart
You seem close, yet feel so far
Your touch is cold, your breath is haunting
And calls me to nothing warm
Lead me astray to memories past
Upon my soul, it lashes
Beloved spirit, I come to your grave
To find what lies under the ashes
There is no light, no hope in sight
I've lost my light in this cold night
Empty myself of hopes and dreams
And confine it all within
Discard this life into the dirt
For new nightmares to begin
Become a shell devoid of life
My memory, it flashes
Beloved spirit, I return to your grave
And bury it under the ashes
