Absence - Lost Signal

I stare into the face of my brother

His features have faded into dust

He lies here now, waiting for the darkness

Carrying the hopes and dreams we shared

He stood among the ravaged so courageous

His figure stoic and so brave

Cut down in shrouds of subtle irony

For years I prayed that it had taken me

In the absence of a god

In the absence of belief

I will never let this go

I will never let this sleep

In the absence of a god

In the absence of belief

I will never let this go

I will never let this sleep

For reasons I have long since forgotten

I could never bear the thought of an end

Years have passed and still I wonder

If I had been the one, where would he be?

Through suffering and pain I’ve come to realize

Knowing all that I have survived

Only loses and complete destruction

Can release the demons that grow inside

In the absence of a god

In the absence of belief

I will never let this go

I will never let this sleep

In the absence of a god

In the absence of belief

I will never let this go

I have fallen in too deep
