The pain, the sorrow, the violence within

Will never quench the thirst

Bewildered, in dismay

The silence ounce golden now lays across the floor

The silence ounce golden now lays soiled in disgrace

You call this seeking the light

You call this searching for god

I call this the bleakness

Searching within the emptiness

Submerged, the earth has shattered

All around, all around

Nothing is left to be felt to be seen

Overwhelmed how could this happen to me

Up and down, round and round

Nothing is as it used to seem

Erase this vision from my eyes

There is a silence beneath the screams

An inner peace you say

I have found myself

Soiled in disgrace
