Wake up from this unholy nightmare Open your eyes, just say a word This can't be how it ends Can't prepare for a thief who comes swiftly in the dead of the night Breathless and cold Morning leads to the darkest day of life for me No sign or indication Just left behind with a pillow cold And now a part of me is drowning in The wake of a silent slaughter Defenseless and suffering alone To pick up the jagged pieces Left behind and rebuild from the blackest dawn Sheds light on tragedy Can't believe you're gone Abruptly torn away Time can't heal what has been taken It only lengthens the pain I can't recall the last time I had so much to regain Defense is useless When you don't know the face of death that lurks among us And steals away those we need, leaving us in The wake of a silent slaughter Defenseless and suffering alone To pick up the jagged pieces Left behind and rebuild from the blackest dawn Rebuild from the blackest dawn Left in the wake of the blackest dawn Left in the wake of the blackest dawn The agony of the silence and the moment I found myself alone An unholy nightmare eternally haunts me now that you're gone Left to suffer alone and cold A part of me died with you Alone and cold... so cold Now you're gone Left in the wake of the blackest dawn Now you're gone Wake of the blackest dawn Now you're gone Left in the wake of the blackest dawn
