Ode To Sorrow
Sorrow, why must thou plague me
Filling every crevice of mine
Pouring thyself in like water
O' Sorrow, you will destroy me
As thou drains what of me still shines
And my happiness thou slaughters
O' Sorrow, feel free to leave now
Thou has weighed this soul down enough
Draining me of all that is light
O' Sorrow, i will release thou
Your companionship proved too tough
And I don't have the strength to fight
O' Sorrow, you have won the war
I have given up my heart
I no longer want what thou left
Sorrow, I don't want anymore
When will you finally depart
and complete this ongoing theft?
