The Silent Winter

The silent winter

 

The trees are rotting.

The leaves decay

The ground is frozen

Above my shallow grave

Winter has come

I can feel it in my bones

The cold is a welcomed friend

When you're dead and alone

Heaven didn’t want me

And hell forgot my name

Now I'm buried inn the earth

Inside a coffin filled with shame

I lay humble in the ground

But at least there is no pain

Sleeping in a silent dream

Where the seasons never change

Words are whispers

When the heart is filled with lies

Self pity is just selfishness

When you take your own life

Misery and hopelessness

Walk hand in hand

You cherish only suffering

when you're a broken man

God has denied me

And you didn’t give a damn

I weather in tragedy

That only death could understand

The winter now she cradles me

She holds me in her arms

Im sorry I didn’t say goodbye

But the pain it went too far

She softly weeps for me

When she's all alone

Her tears fall like snow

Making her heart grow cold

The wind begins to cry

Singing silent lullabies

As sorrow kills her soul

The silent winter

Is all she knows
