Paroles de Absence

Absence I stare into the face of my brother His features have faded into dust He lies here now waiting for the darkness Carrying the hopes and dreams we shared He stood among the ravaged so courageous His figure stoic and so brave Cut down in shrouds of subtle irony For years, I prayed that it had taken me In the absence of a God In the absence of belief I will never let this go I will never let this sleep In the absence of a God In the absence of belief I will never let this go I will never let this sleep For reasons I have long since forgotten I could never bear the thought of an end Years have passed and still I wonder If I had been the one, where would he be? In the absence of a God In the absence of belief I will never let this go I will never let this sleep Through suffering and pain I've come to realise Knowing all that I have survived Only losses and complete destruction Can release the demons that grow inside In the absence of a God In the absence of belief I will never let this go I will never let this sleep In the absence of a God In the absence of belief I will never let this go I will never let this sleep In the absence of a God In the absence of belief I will never let this go I have fallen in too deep
