Burn

By Deaths Apostle

Though I see you doubt our love,
It still exists.
I'm afraid to say, I must leave you now,
As our city burns

Even in this hour, dark as it is
I see you weep for me
All alone in this city, large as it is
I hear you call for me

Now they have reached our wall,
And now I fear, it is time,
Time for us all to burn

I only hope you will remember me,
I beg you to remember me,
I need you to remember me,
As the city burns, my heart shall burn

The ashes of my heart blow away,
They are blown away,
Now the wind will give these ashes,
Blow these ashes back to you

Inspired by the song 'Burn' by Apocalyptica...I suppose you could call these lyrics for this instrumenal piece

A former member wrote: Beautiful poem. Sad when love changes, hurts when it burns to the ground. Great expression. =)
A former member wrote: can't say I know the tune, but these sound like lyrics. I like the slow development, the repetition, the pace or tempo of the words. Soft, yet apocalyptic.
