A woman mourns the loss of her lover

No one cared to ask why

A child loathes his parents

No one cared to ask why

A fall into the abyss takes you nowhere

"For this is what makes us gods in our own right,"

The pain of a million people

The undying screams of many

Feel it all for just one moment

And scream with them as you mourn the lost

Take care as you take flight

"Deities in your own plights,"

Cry for all eternity and fall with dying whispers

Run far from me

Continue running until your knees fail

Till your heart stops

Till it all goes out as it began

A massive sparkling blast

The call of a thousand dead

In your chest beating, all the same, is the begging sound of life

Melted wax dripping off your arms as you spiral down, down, down

You were so close to the sun today.
