Burden of Grief

Ed: Every breath I breath is filled with pain- -The Devil's gain Caught in anageing dying shell I am confined in this rattling coughing cadaver Waiting for an end to leave this - breating Hell Rogga: Close your eyes and weep Tar you sowed, death you reap All this wealth, useless in your missery You know the grane only takes one currency Ed: Diagnosis clear, it’s terminal, the end of all My lungs destroyed beyond repair I should be crying but what good are tears- -Against these fears This burden is for me and me alone to bear What forgiveness can I possibly receive They've been gone so long I've forgotten- - How to grieve No one left to soothe my guilt riedden bones I’ll have to walk this final road… Alone Ed: One last smoke Rogga: One final cigarette

Ed: Morning light bleeds into my room As I ponder my impending doom I almost long to be interred My shameful tale will go unheard In the silent grave Rogga: After all we are nothing But a speck in death’s design Breathing, choking, what’s the use in trying To hang on to this farce called life Ed: Graveyard skies and flesh that died Soon I’ll take my place alongside The guilty soul that dwell down here End my sorrow, bury my fear In the silent grave Rogga: What’s the use in lingering Just like the memories of the dead Haunting, cursing, my entire being Won’t someone lift my useless body- - from this God Damn Bed Rogga: You won’t find peace among the worms, Ed: … in the silent grave Rogga: No salvation in this dirt Ed: … in the silent grave

Rogga: And thus the crawling begins Upon a road of gravel and blood I see your face… as you’re dying And thus the suffering begins Down the corridor of regret I feel you lifeless shape cradled in my arms And thus the bleeding begins Along a trail of memories I hear her voice… it breaks- - As she’s crying And thus the mourning begins Inside these walls of apathy I never knew how to ease her sorrow Ed: How did you ever find the key? Why did you open the cabinet? The shining piece of deadly steel So heavy in your tiny hands The shot that tore the night in two The blood that stained the carpet The bag they put your body in Rogga: I wish they’d sealed my instead Ed: Roses on a coffin… As you slowly sink- - Into the earth Mourners softly sobbing… I can’t even cry- - I’m numb with hurt We never stood a chance… our bond- - so fragile Where could we go from here… No where Rogga: And so I fled, into another world A world inside my mind, not to be reached Completed denial, this never happened I had to shut her out to save- - the last bits of my sanity And so she fled, into another life A life without me, without this grief Complete estrangement, I let it happen She had to get away, or torn to stone – - just like me

Ed: Bloodshot eyes awakend from an easy slumber Limbs all white and stiff slowly coming to life Sheets are drenched in sweat from nightly terrors Joylessly a new dawn is welcomed The day is wasted on rituals whithout meaning As night descends the dreams return- -... To fill my bed again Blood shot eyes awaken from a restless slumber Skin is white and cold, heart barely beats Escaping slowly from drowsy realms of horror Reluctant to awake yet terrified to sleep Rogga: Weep for me Weep for what I have done Cry like the cryers of ancient times Weep for me Weep for what I have done There's no hope in hell it can ever- - be undone Going trought the motions Keeping the madness at day Blocking all emotions For fear thel'll wash my soul away Ed: Behind me the past comes clawing trough The veils of guilt and suppression I drapped- - Around you My memory is obscured by clouds of time I ask myself a painfull question, woud I still- - recognize... my son Rogga: Running from what's comming At least in my dreams I can run Hiding from the blackness That engulfs my room, my bed, my lungs Ed: Behind my the past comes clawing trough The years of grief and depression I sufferd- - for you My memory, little pieces still remain I make myself a painfull promise- - To visit your grave - My son...

Rogga: I kneel in the damp soil Your stone's so cold I long to hear your voice Can't remember My hands fold as in payer Why in hell am I here? No forgiveness for an old fool Least of all from you Ed: Speak to me in my head Speak to me from the dead Forgive me for what I've done wrong I've lived with this burden of grief- -for far too long How long have I been sitting here? My knees are stiff and it's dark and cold Was that really your voice or just my brain Playing tricks on me? The words echo in the raven's scream ... Not me... It's not me... wrong place, wrong time ... She wait's... It's her... you need to find Rogga: Never seen this house before A withered wreath on the door I know who's inside You showed me... Her eyes fill with tears I try to speak... no air My lungs burn in my chest As I wheeze my last request Ed: Speak to my, before I'm dead Know that I never meant to make you sad The years that we wasted won't return But please grant me peace- - though I know I deserve to burn

Rogga: I think I've made my peace Said my last goodbyes It's time to lay down and die Nurse sits and reads My lungs breathe no more I'm at the mercy of life support Feel your presence here hands around my wrist As I succumb to sweet - drug induced bliss Ed: How I long for oblivion Sister morphine, take me in your care You remind me of someone I used to love Before the tears and the years took her away It's out of my hands The drugs are taking over As I drift from consciouness To die and fade away Never known another day Leave this vessel cold and frail A blood red sun is rising now On my final morning I embrace what's coming
