letra de eve of mourning - funeral wake

on this eve of mourning
we stand transfixed in solemn silence
as we watched the world we loved
lower deeper and deeper, swallowed into the night

on this eve of mourning
i lay gripped by the cold hands of sorrow
failures of the past feeding my fears facing tomorrow
condolences and sympathy won’t bring her back to me
a thousand apologies won’t stop the ghost from haunting me
solace washes over me as the razor slides across my chest
the sharp reminder of the agony will nеver lay to rest
this pit in my gut’s growing evеr deeper
your name, a reminder that in the end, all we have left will be our

suffering
carved into our wrist
a last goodbye to the world we couldn’t save
eulogies carved in flesh as a monument
of our mourning and a sermon of our

misery
written on her face
as the unyielding night swallowed her whole
a ghost passing through my fingertips
trapped in this stasis of grief unending and ever-crushing
sallow flesh
and withered hands wrap around my neck
pulling me deeper into the chasm
dragging me further into the maw

oh, ghost of mourning, take this wretch into thy arms
lay her down to rest where she can watch flowers wilt
guide our hearts beneath the rising tides of anguish
guide this lost, young soul from the jaws of eternal silence
guide our sorrows into the house of lasting sleep
guide our broken hearts into the deep
for we know not where to weep

crushed to death by the weight of a mother’s tears
suffocated by a horror of a child’s death throes
entrapped by the pain of a father’s grief
i sacrifice thee life for a life
and soul for a soul

dead father, take broken spirit into your arms
lay her head to rest from this cruel world
return your lost child from the safety the night
never to feel the sunlight again
i sacrifice

guide us through the passing f-cking night
on this eve of mourning
we stood transfixed
choked on words
no answers, only silence
