1. DESPAIR

When warmth in your eyes had abated
The chill has run deep through my bones
My heart left your hunger unsated
And turned into ashes and coals

Bitter the life
Pointless the strife
For all that was lost
Despair is the cost

No point in dissecting the feeling
That started to decompose
Your haunting presence is killing
My tremulant breathing just froze

Bitter the life
Pointless the strife
For all that was lost
Despair is the cost

You left me alone at the crossing
With someone else holding your hand
For you it’s the light of new dawning
For me it’s the night without end
