Dreadful Shadows

Your wrinkled hands reveal the time
You can't stop anymore
The expression of you eyes is still courageous
Your lips are pale, your skin is white
I thought you'd never fall
You're lying motionless in bed
Courageous inside
Flies dance around the same old lie
I'm giving up your shape
Oh, I was startled by the words
You breathed in your despair
You've lost your trust in your own world - in living
In times when you were young and strong
You could embrace the world
You've been so fearless and so sure
Courageous inside
Flies dance around the same old lie
I'm giving up your shape
