The Shattering

Tides of time remember the brave, they said Hand on a pen, more than her daily bread Her words, a voice; this was her choice Staying defiant, could she stay silent They're coming for me, she said To crush dissent, to leave me dead Could the tree last this storm, its angry and red A beacon of hope In this world gone rogue A beacon of hope A trickle of tears, as fortitude met fears A click later, in this garden of reason, she lay tried for treason A beacon of hope It lay down, so dead, so cold This beacon of hope Aaaaaahhh... No strength in my bones My love, no more Spirit fades A stream of blood Flows down mother's head Me eyes growing heavy My soul's in spate I am fighting to fathom Is this real? Or just a shadow On this stormy night... I am dreaming tonight Please tell me I'm right Ghastly nightmares, and gory visions Won't this pass me by Now she lies in hollow sleep A chill runs down my back, so deep Where is her second coming? Cuz this is a rude awakening Shrieks and shouts, out of my mouth I'm wading through a lake of doubt Mother dear, don't leave me here Without you, I'm dead right here, right now Yanks and yells they fall apart A poison dart straight through my heart This beacon lay fallen, leaving me crawling Sinking deeper, deeper into the dark
