Flesh and Bone

Flesh and bone, turned to stone
As I dwell into the deep unknown

Hatred seeps through my skin
The taste of envy, yet only thin

The smell of want fills the air
As if only few have ever cared

A touch of pain and drop of blood
My heart beats as if walking in deep mud

Tis' a day I will be remembered
And my weak body will be sheltered

The screams of death, is all I hear
As on my cheek fell a tear

I know that it is hard to say goodbye
If you know that soon you are about to die
