Lament Lyrics

It was you in the storm far from home
The rushing tide called you out alone
There you stood on the shores of regret
Not a soul to hear your final lament
All that you gave became a weight around your neck
These days nothing is ever the same
The way things were no forever changed
And so you turned to anything
That brought you peace temporarily
Weary soldier, the battle rages on
In your mind and in your heart so forlorn
Hold on, I'll be there tonight
We'll find our way to a shelter we can hide
Until the storms of life subside
A blank stare reflects the chaos in your mind
Haunting memories on display in your eyes
If I could take it away this very day
I'd re-write time and take your place
But here and now we must find somehow
A way to peace, your mind to be sound
Deliverer we call upon your name
Silence the screaming, erase the pain
You took our place and bore the scars
To the sea this anguish we now cast
