chiseled stone

Memories chiseled into cold hard stone
Show the years gone by
Flowers shrivelling by your grave
Marking where you lie

Soft voices echo in the morning mist
Gravestones haunt my mind
Alone in the darkness time stands still
Shut out the pain the shadows find

Throw the ashes to the sea
Silence stirs lonely fears
Flame of love burns a hollow heart
Smother the sparks with salty tears

Chorus:
The awful taste stays in your mouth
Was no time to say goodbye
Frustration builds up in your chest
Why did he have to die?
