Evergreen

Lifted, lifted from the silence From the deafening quiet All these things in my mind they echo Thinking, thinking the present Oh heart, you've absent My mind's had its grasp for too long Brother, cold's sting ever latches to me And my heart stands alone and it bleeds For that army you brought me will fall Darling, while the weather is fair In the calm of despair I still grieve You unlocked my utmost quiet now Broken, broken inside crying Despite the fire's lighting Everything I ever hoped had crumbled Ashes, they lay, stars burn and they fade Hoping for future Praying for present It's been far too long my darling Brother, cold's sting ever latches to me My heart stood alone and it would bleed But that army you brought me stood tall Darling, while though the weather's no longer fair In the calm of despair I no longer grieve I prayed and God gave me reprieve I can't seem to forget you but my conscience won't break though It's a slow fade, like a sunset in the mid-west sky My heart is evergreen
