We wonder at the torment
Love withered on the vine
We seek such validation as
Comes along in time
We sing for secret heartache
We sing this simple dirge
We sing for your delusions
Making noise with words
Once for the failing, once for the heartsick
Once for the lost who can't be found
Once for the fallen, once for the damaged
Once for the cursed by word of mouth
Once for the broken, once for the drowning
Once for the damned to find their way
Out of this darkness, all of this sickness
Lost to the tides and swept away
And here a new beginning, begging to be born
From out of nowhere come the tired and the torn
Sing with me, out brief candle swallowed by the waves
The epitaph of all our days
Once for the failing, once for the heartsick
Once for the lost who can't be found
Once for the fallen, once for the damaged
Once for the cursed by word of mouth
Once for the failing, once for the heartsick
Once for the lost who can't be found
Once for the fallen, once for the damaged
Once for the cursed by word of mouth
Once for the broken, once for the drowning
Once for the damned to find their way
Out of this darkness, all of this sickness
Lost to the tides and swept away
