Silent Towers

We turn away and erase the pain. Let it lie in the deepest shades of guilt and blame. Cover it under these chords so shallow, hide it between lines so narrow. But the words are just too strong to speak, they will only destroy us. Like two towers we stand, stand strong but hurt. Until we crash down with only one word. Where is the end of these emerald woods, the first light of the new morning? Have we walked too far in this gloom to sense the pure heart of doom? We left our souls in the cutting room, and play the roles of silent killers. Here we stand at the edge of truth, and still let the cold paint our skin. Blinded we step straight back into Hell. But the words are just too strong to speak, they will only destroy us. Like two towers we stand, stand strong but hurt. Until we crash down with only one word.

Where do we go from here when these words have been unspoken? We carry this burden through the gentle summer rain. The convoy is still, still and weeping. Yet I don't feel anything but these walls around. And the candles on cathedral walls chase the weak light under the saints eyes, over you and your shattered words for the ones you lost. In your mourning you're alone, so alone. This silence speaks a million words, words of comfort so shallow. How I wish even for one tear but for my heart it's too late. Where do I go when the sorrow turns to hate, where do I go from here? The guardian angels quiet and near slowly turning away, for hell is surely here. Every step towards the hole in the ground I rot, carrying your white coffin, my heart wide shut. I will follow you, earth to earth. I will follow you, ashes to ashes. I will follow you, dust to dust. I will follow you! How I wish even for one tear but for my heart it's too late, when sorrow turns to hate. And the candles on cathedral walls chase the weak light under the saints eyes, over you and your shattered words for the ones you lost. In your mourning you're alone, so alone.
