lyrics

To wake up and fail to see beyond what I can reach
In terror, in a panic of existence
The rain and snow is striking fiercely, hard against my skin
While blurred and burning light is firmly pressing from above
I reach out to wipe away the spattered specs of heaven
And tremble to feel them in my fingers
I call on all the courage my collapsing heart can muster
And draw my hands within my faded sight

What is this that taints my flesh, what has come to pass
The essence that falls upon this land is that of blood and ash
What has happened
Why can't I remember
Can anybody hear me
Through these red rains of December

These forsaken times
And all the taken lives
I am left without home or solace
By relentless forces Godless

Far beyond the breach where no hope of men can reach
I push through all the pain up to my feet
Though I can barely stand, I still remain a man
Though weakened and blackened by the sleet

I cry, though no one’s there to hear me
