Death please take my hand and promise to never let it go again

For I've seen the waste lands in the eyes of man

Consequences of baring witness to the birth and destruction of a once great innocence

They can't take you away from me

And it can't be this way

But my hands are tied and time is slowly slipping away

God how could you do this to me

Give me the choice to burn or watch my family bleed

It makes me sick to think that every option leads to suffering

And I swore to you that I would never let you down

But my promise was as fragile as the safety that we found

Castle walls built on broken grounds

If home is where the heart is

Would there be a pulse among the ruins

I risked it all for your chance to dream

A broken family in a city cemetery

Do I bare the weight of the dead and gone

Or sever the ties and just simply move on

They can't take you from me

The worlds pushing down on my chest

I've brought life into this world and I'll lay it to rest

Slowly as the air goes thick the light in my child's eyes begin to vanish

Was there anything more I could have done

To stop my wife from breathing blood

I will not witness their rebirth in death

I would rather die a thousand times than see them become this

There was no farewells, there was no goodbyes, I murdered them all

As I watch the light leave from your eyes for the second time tonight

There was no farewells, I never got to say goodbye, there were no goodbyes

There were no farewells, there were no goodbyes
