A lamb on the altar
A knife in the chest
The blood on the hands
Betrays us

Torn and ripped open
Compassionate eyes
Cold blooded murderers
Forgiven

A weak broken arm
Reaches out towards hearts
With a key that unlocks
The souls

The songs of charis
Lift us up
To the heavens
To abide forevermore

Hours and minutes
Creep slowly through life
To cover the mouths
Of those who are silent

In Time's mind
Partiality does not exist
The sleeping are silent
Even after they die

The hands of the clock
Reach up from the ground
To replace the quiet
With a subtle tick-tock

Time will be friend until
The day there is none left

We're shadows
We're shifting
Dancing in the night

We're stalking
So silent
Hiding from the light

We're thirsty
We're hungry
Searching for a bite

You're lovely
So lovely
Your skin is just right

You're more than welcome
To become one of us

her heart still beats
within the mind
her scent so near
brings tears to eyes

he requires one minute
to separate
the body from the soul

her words still echo
through the halls
a peaceful stream
into a waterfall

seconds are all
he needs to break
the hearts of the living

oh, Death be nimble
Death be quick
please take me with her
before i do it

Do you remember when
We were so in love?
Nothing could come
Between us.

Do you remember that night
The rain poured down?
Sitting quiet
In the silence.

Sorry for the time I stole
Forgive me for the pain
A first kiss not meant for your lips
We've gone our separate ways

The laughter resonates,
Your smile ingrained.
Sparkles shining
In your eyes.

With stars in our pockets
And warmth in our hearts.
The love was never
Really there.

Sorry for the time I stole
Forgive me for the pain
A first kiss not meant for your lips
We've gone our separate ways

You're just a memory
But I hope you're doing fine.

They're building bridges to nowhere.
They're hopeless; we don't care.
We watch as they walk over the ledge.

They're falling faster. Our hearts full
Of laughter while we are
Rejoicing that we're not the ones dead.

Since when did our goals shift
From persuading men
To pursuing our own selfish desires?

We have the cure to their cancer,
The only true answer,
The pill that we claim has saved our lives.

Disassociation is key to
The Christian religion
While God weeps as the world is perishing.

Since when did our goals shift
From persuading men
To pursuing our own selfish desires?

Serenity broken by black clouds above
Droplets form and fall on the land
A scattered flock with no shepherd in sight
Content with dead grass on the ground

Rains pour down harder making rivers grow wider
Violent waves crash over their heads
They struggle to chew as they choke on the water
Soon enough they'll all be dead

Angels' tears are sweeter when the sick know how to swim
