Where no seed of misery would have ever grown
A modicum of hope cracked on burning soil
The sorrow of the sunsets washed away night's caress
A callous fall of distress
Right back into the dust
Her freezing cold slowly made him rust
Last chapter's token
The serpents bite
Patterns gone broken
His twisted mind only wanted to endow her
A little ray of light
She will never know how strong he felt
With her by his side
There was no water for the barren ground
The myriad of tears weren't enough to let it grow
Now he staggers in the haze
He wanted to catch her while her fall
But she's got a rope already for herself
Now he's searching a path behind the grey
So dazed
He couldn't raise the torch much higher
The flame wasn't inside her
Burning on her sole pyre
There was never a fire
