holding my torch of sorrows high
listening beautiful, died lullabye
ringing in my cold ears
blood covers
my split lips
wiping it away
with my scared arm
standing still
as if im a statue
cracking and breaking
to the point of crashing down
onto the cold earth's soil
i see my breath
shiving in the cold
i stand... waiting
to hear your voice
waiting for you to bring me warmth
but here i stand
forever craving your touch
my tears
stained black
my tangled hair
frozen in the cold air
but here i stand
forever i stand
