Cry of The Afflicted

Tale Of A Soul

Cry of The Afflicted


I stumble in the mist, my walk is bent, my strength drifts away 
It's drowning in the silt 

I bleed myself, I fall asleep; In waking all is lost, without the pain 
What will stanch the blood? 
I'm falling down 
All that I had, all that I am, will stain the sand 

In darkness falls, the worst story I've ever told 
The tale of my soul 

Can you take me from the ground, where my ghost was born, 
And your life found, carry me away 
And now I'm safe, my wounds will heal, I'll never return to this haunted grave 

Lift me up and soar 
I've gone away 
All that I had, all that I was, has gone with the tide 

In sunlight's rise, the best story I've ever told 
The tale of my soul 

Do you recall, the poem, whispers on my lips, 
The things I wrote, keep them close
