Shroud - Sear Bliss

I’ve lost so much in this game

No one wins here, the rules are the same

But what else did you expect

When you crushed all without respect?

I’ve tried everything to forget

Some falling, others regret

And when you crawl and when you pray

I still think of you a million times a year

Whoever lifts the veil

That veils all horrors

Will go aboard on the route

That sails the ocean of sorrows

You went up north

I travelled to the south

I sat on a cliff at the coast

The ocean seemed a huge bed of tears

And I still thought of you

Just like during all these years

And the bluest sky was but a shroud

These cool winds keep me on the ground

They remind me what I’ve been through

And the sound of these winds

Is the sound of you

Your world seemed so far

Below the southern cross

How I wished my soul was free

But it’s still engulfed in frost

You can run away from the past

And deny all that is true

But the way you act now

I can’t believe it’s you

What you start

I fail to end

What I was

No one cares

Some will rise

When others fall

We can’t hide

What we become
