Harrowed Cries

I can't be believin
The images I'm seein
My world's fallin apart

The feeble trees are swayin
Quickly their betraying
A land without a heart

And I can see you there

With a curse upon your brow
What's going to happen now
When all that was is gone, and may
Never come again

A piece was always missing
Words, but never listening
I am the only one to hear
the harrowed cries

Please don't be mistaken
Loads that you have taken
Were more than you could bear

I long for your healing
But your own walls and ceiling
Will never lead you there

Please don't hurry out

In a dark and hopeless storm
Cold, without a warm
Without a steady hand
To lead you home

The Statue Fell

A childhood enchanted
Precious naivete
But those bonds were broken
Though unknown to me

How I need an angel
To break the spell
That fell on my family
The day the statue fell

"Things aren't as they seem
But please don't tell"
So I kept living
In my private hell

They just can't seem to deal
Our hollow monument fell
So they keep living
in their private hell

This tired tragedy limps
To a certain bitter end
Every hope vanquished
My heart grief has rent

All that was light is darkened
All that was straight is bent
Cry for every heart broken
Weep for every prayer sent

"Things aren't as they seem
But please don't tell"
So I kept living
In my private hell

They just can't seem to deal
Our hollow monument fell
So they keep living
in their private hell
