Healing Prayer

［Intro］ Rows of tombs stretch far and wide Burying loneliness deep inside Void gives way to helpless sighs The wind whimpers its bitter cries ［Verse 1］ I pause my steps time and again Behind me lies a misty lane After death, our paths split and wane Endless loneliness remains ［Pre - Chorus］ Cold stone steles stand mute and stark Carved names blur in the dark Life’s struggles now have slipped their chain Yet loneliness clings, again and again Groping in darkness, no way to stray Soul fragments dance where the wind does sway In the end, ashes to ashes, dust to dust ［Chorus］ Who can pen me a few lines of prayer? Who can grant me a whole perfect day? The past has turned to an eternal lay I’ll mourn it in the other world, far away Who can tell the end from the very start? Who can stay with me till day turns to dark? Fleeting are the memories, gone in a spark What remains is the right timeline’s mark ［Transition］ ［Verse 2］ The river of time flows slow and mild Washing memories, left wild and riled The lingering warmth cools, mile after mile Longing for redemption, no more to beguile Memory shards strew along the way Who can piece together the one I used to be? In the end, ashes to ashes, dust to dust ［Chorus］ Who can compose for me a prayer’s tune? Who can stay with me through this winter’s moon? The past has turned to an eternal shrine I’ll mourn it in the other world, divine Who can tell the end from the very start? Who can stay with me till day turns to dark? Fleeting are the memories, gone in a spark What remains is the eternal timeline’s mark ［Bridge］ Still banished by loneliness, I roam I have to end it all in silent gloom The forgotten ones Murmur their tune ［Outro］ Beneath the endless night so dim I wait for the dawn’s first beam to swim The forgotten oath, once faint and thin Is the healing prayer that mends within
