Bittersweet Melody

Where oceans once flowed , sand remains
Thus our body decays to a new reality
Bleeding away, what it no longer contains
Withering from this shell of mortality

Life is a choice, not for us to decide
Taken away by desperation and rage
Like a dreadful tower, it will stand
Locking us tight in a deep dark cage

Air pierces the lungs with each breath
No remorse for a soul, no salvation
Escaping the horror of his wrath
Running from his sweet redemption

In death we shall be at peace
That's what they use to say
Laying our heads, resting at ease
In a bittersweet melody, we decay
