How was I supposed to know 
That a wounded soul would heal so slow 
You needed love but love is dead 
Ready to paint the world in red 
Why did you ever let me see 
The death in life and the death in me 
The tears shall forever fall 

Why do I find it so hard to breathe 
And oh so easy to lie down and bleed 
Drained of joy and left to rot in hell 
There's nothing left but a soul to sell 
Why did you ever let me see 
The death in life and the death in me 

Bring forth the tears caressing 
My skin is pale and cold as ice 
Bring forth the healing winds of time 
This pain is both yours and mine 

In silence waits the weapon cold 
The key to freedom that I now hold 
A dying reflection of a wasted life 
My blood is ready to taste the knife 
Why did you ever let me see 
The death in life and the death in me 

Bring forth the tears caressing 
My skin is pale and cold as ice 
Bring forth the healing winds of time 
This pain is both yours and mine
