Above this Fire In Designing A Requiem Lyrics

When everything came crashing down
the emptiness tore me up
from the inside out
the silence broke me down
to nothing
through the ashes of this year
I saw you buried and laid to rest
It was so hard
to hold back all my tears
I never thought I'd see the day
that I would have to mourn a fallen friend
so I stand in disbelief,
Unwilling to accept
I try to understand
how a world consumed by darkness
it's a tragedy
that it lost one of it's brightest lights

in a time when things fall apart so quick
I still hold on to the pieces
and keep you alive

This requiem is all I have
to show that you are in my heart
to show that you are still with me

in a time when things fall apart so quick
and mourning became a constant

it's up to me to make sure that you arent' forgotten
from this day forward I will not relive the days of grieving

release your ghost and let it finally rest
your imprint still stays with me
I held on to your words
they were a guide
when the storm was right on top of me
the days behind me are broken
your spirit still lives on inside through it all

I will remember
I will remember you
I will carry on for you
