Moments that break me sentimental

With voices now silent

Defiant, I raise my glass

On my lonely walk, memories resonate

As clouds wander past waning moon

Aged spirits burn across cobblestone

Will it ever rain again?

Vulnerant omnes

Every hour wounds

Pausing for one more cigarette

Reflecting here in darkness

Can no one hear the melody

Of what is true?

Vulnerant omnes

Every hour wounds

These things we knew together

And now I am alone

Now there is only

Before and after

Purpose turns to ashes

In this season of all that disappoints

A malevolent place I dare not go

Even in memory

How the dead affect the living

And the sacred songs that tear me asunder

Vulnerant omnes

Every hour wounds

Vulnerant omnes

The last one kills

Slowly dancing

To the beautiful song

You remember

But now the jester beckons

And my song ends
