• death
    swallowed by the shadows
    burned by the fire
    drowned by the water
    the water, the fire of sorrows

    no one may know
    this what I
    no, we've come to know

    we who live
    strive by the faintest of grief
    by the shadows we hide
    in our minds
    we die

    no one knows
    what we hold

    no one knows
    who we are

    no one knows
    no one knows

    save us
    hear us
    free us
