Desolation

Walk in shadows, we thought we owned the light Trading wisdom for dreams that burned too bright Tore the heavens, made scars across the sky Wander in the dark and wonder why The warmth held close faded away The sun has abandoned us The burning sky, turned to gray The sun has abandoned us Silent dawn, no rays to break the night Empty eyes, a world without sight Danced with the storm, we thought we never fall Voices echo through an endless hall Silence, haunted by the sound Of footsteps in the ashes where no life is found The sun may rise again, it won't shine for us Lost in darkness, our own bitter dust The warmth held close faded away The sun has abandoned us The burning sky, turned to gray The sun has abandoned us Shadows crafted, forged by our hand Bound to our delusions, can barely stand Let the earth cry out as we watch the rivers dry Only fragments can touch a fading sky The warmth held close faded away The sun has abandoned us The burning sky, turned to gray The sun has abandoned us The sun may rise again, it won't shine for us Fools and liars, lost in fire, our own bitter dust The warmth held close faded away The sun has abandoned us The burning sky, turned to gray The sun has abandoned us The sun has abandoned us The sun has abandoned us Blind leading blind
