When Guilt Surrounds

of grief the dread
here you are dead

the guilt I have I can’t forget
I carry the cross all day long
my heart and mind they’re not so strong
it left me lonely and upset.

I carry the cross all day long
the love I had forced me to act
all my wrongdoings I retract
my heart and mind they’re not so strong

of grief the dread
I carry the cross all day long
life with heartache awfully packed
my heart and mind they’re not so strong
here you are dead

of grief the dread
here you are dead
