Shroud

I’ve lost so much in this game
No one wins here, the rules are the same
But what else did you expect
When you crushed all without respect?
I’ve tried everything to forget
Some falling, others regret
And when you crawl and when you pray
I still think of you a million times a year
Whoever lifts the veil
That veils all horrors
Will go aboard on the route
That sails the ocean of sorrows
You went up north
I travelled to the south
I sat on a cliff at the coast
The ocean seemed a huge bed of tears
And I still thought of you
Just like during all these years
And the bluest sky was but a shroud
These cool winds keep me on the ground
They remind me what I’ve been through
And the sound of these winds
Is the sound of you
Your world seemed so far
Below the southern cross
How I wished my soul was free
But it’s still engulfed in frost
You can run away from the past
And deny all that is true
But the way you act now
I can’t believe it’s you
What you start
I fail to end
What I was
No one cares
Some will rise
When others fall
We can’t hide
What we become
