Vulnera - A Life - A Death

Memories of broken dreams
A life that was a lie
Turn the page of endless ages
Left for us to die

Cross the plains of endless pain
To find a trail of fire
Painful cries of life's demise
A death that was a lie

In the end
I was nothing
We were all nothing
But another stain on the blood of the earth

We were all nothing
But the tears of the moonlit sky
Given birth to sad soil

A life to a death
It's all the same
In the darkness
Without a second chance

Were they at fault for curiosity?
To punish a child for the gift given to them

Even love is not infallible
Even hate is not infallible

A lullaby for the innocent child
A lullaby for the innocent child
Now dead

I lie awake
Waiting to die
And waiting to fall
Into the dark
To see the end
Of precious
(Life) Was the end
(Death) Was the only means of a life
A cry for help
To die alone
With no one

I mourn the reality of life
That it never was
And it never will be
