Solemn Slumber

Lay in slumber of your solemn sleep
Leaving behind those who weep

Cry into the deaf air
Only silence will answer
Your life will remain in plight
Lay in slumber of that solemn night

Tattered memories cry down weary cheeks
Flowing into the forgotten sea
Rapids that rage the most remain unseen
Lay in slumber under that solemn stream

The memory that burns the most
Is that you chose the life of a ghost
Lay in slumber under the wings of your new host
