The Suffering

It was the second day / second week / the first renewal
When a letter bore a precious invite
Familiar manuscript / but unexpected words that led us
to a place that we had long forgotten
Oh / I was forced to be a coward giving in and it was my failure
The day I lost my brothers / the day I lost my kin
A night of endless shadows / that was my suffering
We are the dark / the fear that’s never ending
We sense / absorb / feasting on your pain
We were on our mounts / heading north into the forest
when the leaves they turned from green to pitch black
with arms opened wide / he welcomed us to desperation
and the ground just tangled up our ankles
And when the wood reached out its skinny hands I knew
that the birth of suffering was finally due
Run for your lives / don’t look back / save all your lives
Run for your lives / don’t look back / save all your lives
The day I lost my brothers / the day I lost my kin
A night of endless shadows / that was my suffering
We are the dark / the fear that’s never ending
We sense / absorb / feasting on your pain
That was my suffering
That was my suffering
