The Earth is dark with plague, the stars the only light,
The moon it weeps with all mankind,
But none so dark as mine, lost her that keeps me whole,
A funeral beneath the moon alone,
A tragedy, no remedy for my broken soul,
This Earth stole everything that mattered most to me,
I'm lost amongst the pestilence, the desolate, the death,
Shattered pieces of a broken world,
Faceless, broken, torn, tragedy no remedy,
Hopeless, faithless, scorned,
Funeral beneath the moon alone.
I hate this place so let it die, an open grave,
Desolate this fucking place in pain,
The ghosts that haunt this misery that separate,
Let fire rain I pray.
I'm broken down, no way out, her memory has faded,
Don't pull me out, out from the ground, this will be my end,
Don't pull me out, out from the ground, this will be my end,
The Earth is dark with plague, the stars the only light,
The moon it weeps with all mankind,
But none so dark as mine, lost her that keeps me whole,
A funeral beneath the moon alone,
A tragedy, no remedy for my broken soul,
This Earth stole everything that mattered most to me,
I'm lost amongst the pestilence, the desolate, the death,
Shattered pieces of a broken world,
Faceless, broken, torn, tragedy no remedy,
Hopeless, faithless, scorned,
Funeral beneath the moon alone.
