Tristania

Only ashes and bones remain
My hair is wet, my eyes are sore
The past has been fed to the flames
I cannot breathe any more
I try to stand on my feet, but I fall
I try to walk, but I crawl
Live as we knew it is over, and you are gone
Forever gone
I will not bend
To our cross
I will not kneel
At your feet
Greed and anger
Made us younger
Couldn't save us when the tower fell
All my strength and
All my hunger
All is lost and none will live to tell
In the ruins of days gone by
A young affection, a velvet sky
A slave to greed
I do not feel regret anymore
I sense a presence of birds
Encircling me
