A time long ago, a world faded to distant memory,
Where life was good and pure,
The shadow came upon us, a blight spread across the land,
A sorrow with no end,
Lost and alone, four walls we called home,
Waiting for life to return,
This silence haunts my dreams,
Frozen in time, each moment lasts a lifetime,
The world in silence goes on,
When will we come back home.
Please don't leave me alone in the dark,
A shadow across this place of pain,
Please don't leave me alone in the dark,
The world in silence goes on.
Lost and alone, four walls we called home,
Waiting for life to return,
This silence haunts my dreams.
Please don't leave me alone in the dark,
A shadow across this place of pain,
Please don't leave me alone in the dark,
The world in silence goes on.
Hold me close, this will be over soon,
One more chance, to right the wrongs we've made,
You are so far, I can't see past the haze,
Darkness will descend upon this place.
Please don't leave me alone in the dark,
A shadow across this place of pain,
Please don't leave me alone in the dark,
The world in silence goes on.
A time long ago, a world faded to distant memory,
Where life was good and pure,
The shadow came upon us, a blight spread across the land,
A sorrow with no end,
Lost and alone, four walls we called home,
Waiting for life to return,
This silence haunts my dreams,
Frozen in time, each moment lasts a lifetime,
The world in silence goes on,
When will we come back home.
