To My Blood and Tears
Sitting on a park bench
Staring at the sky
Waiting for the rain to come
To mix with tears to dry
Drink to the lifeless river
Drink to the fleeting fears
Drink to the nameless mountain
Drink to my blood and tears
Tears not of denial
Tears not of defeat
Tears not of sorrow
But tears of hopeless feat
Drink to the lifeless river
Drink to the fleeting fears
Drink to the nameless mountain
Drink to my blood and tears
I cry out into the night
Cry to the moonlit sky
Cry with heart in hand
Cry that you won't die
Drink to the lifeless river
Drink to the fleeting fears
Drink to the nameless mountain
Drink to my blood and tears
And as I close my eyes
Thinking I've lost thee
And feel that all is lost
A voice whispers to me:
Do not drink to the river
Do not drink to me
Do not drink to hopelessness
For my soul is cast to sea
And with these words it vanished
Just like that, not there
Staring at eye level with the fading sun
I stand and do declare
I shall not drink to my blood
I shall not drink to thee
I shall not drink to my tears
But will cast your soul to sea
