I Swept Away My Fears As I Walked Upon the Blood

I swept away my fears as I walked upon the blood
I tried not to hear the voices, and my name being called
Then there was something that was drifting away with wind
Children’s started crying, into the thin air, corpse were ready to swing
I thought to my self, Is this the hell or is this my life
The answer was clearly right in front of eyes 
The truth was bitter and I knew I couldn’t deny
The voice were of those who were dead, and I couldn’t reply
I closed my eyes with my hand, trying hard to hold the breath
Fear was wining over me on my first experience of death
