blackened hearts have fallen
exposed within this grave
buried under oceans
upon this bloody wave
reddened birds of twilight
sing the mourning's song
swimming in the wake of
tears that don't belong
angered scars of violet
bleeding needle's thread
sewing life's reflections
upon the words we said
stitches in the flowers
bent throughout the site
bleeding all emotion
on this our winter's night

the curls of your silence
can't break the shell
that i've given myself
to hold in this hell
the aches of your manner
won't mend the cracks
that threaten my heart
and deepen the blacks
the words of disgust
don't end the need
for pain and destruction
on which i could feed
the talons of hades
so broken so jagged
tearing this life
my soul become ragged
the wings of our hatred
flying so low
dressed as we killed him
the ward of the crow

here we lie, a silent cry
so desperate in our seeking
a day of pain, the tears like rain
the tremble in our speaking
this treasured hurt flows into dirt
mixing life with blood
so incomplete with lies, deceit
we, the crimson mud
composed of hate, forgotten fate
this pool in which we drown
a sin reflecting, scars perfecting
yet nothing here we've found
