You are the burning embers Of a million scars I feel the cold steel blade of the wars you waged The pain I can't disregard Underneath the surface Just below my skin I feel this wrenching pain When I hear your name From the shame that I let you in Shifting seasons You are the knife the wound and the scars The killing reason It reminds me who we are Is all that we are? All that we are The photographs are empty Once I could only see your face Now all that I see stretching out from me Is the nothingness! Turned to waste Once I would have called you As I trace these steps unknown Through the wind that chills I am bleeding still I will do this on my own Shifting seasons You are the knife the wound and the scars The curious reasons The cost to great to far If all that we are is All that we are At twilights edge I have seen the dead In these memories of mine Where shadows fall When voices can't call In these memories of mine I have seen the end The rapture gift my friend In these memories of mine You are the scars You are my scars The shifting seasons The killing reasons If all that we are is All that we are
