Headstone Serenade

©Amir Softic Lyrics: Headstone Serenade [Intro – Clean guitar / distant wind] Cold rain falls on my name in stone Letters carved where roses once had grown Your shadow walks where we used to lie Now I speak from where the lovers die The soil remembers every tear Every promise buried here You moved on with the morning sun But my night has just begun [Verse 1] I hear your footsteps in the dark Standing silent in the yard Hands trembling on the marble skin Tracing ghosts of what has been You whisper words you never said To the man beneath the bed Of earth and worms and silent screams Rotting love and shattered dreams [Pre-Chorus] Your tears fall down through the dirt I can taste your endless hurt Too late now to hear me cry You kissed me once and let me die [Chorus – Big melodic metal] Sing to my headstone Broken love carved in bone I am calling from below Where dead hearts never let go Kneel by my grave tonight Feel the cold beneath the light You were fire in my soul Now I'm ashes in this hole [Verse 2] Blackened roots around my chest Cradle what your love possessed Every lie became a nail In this coffin cold and pale I still feel your ghostly breath In the kingdom built of death You said forever meant our names But forever burned in flames [Breakdown – slow, crushing] Six feet under… still I call your name Six feet deeper… nothing feels the same Stone above me Earth around me Love has turned to dust [Bridge – haunting whisper] When the moon bleeds silver light I rise inside your mind at night Every dream becomes my grave Every memory… a chain [Final Chorus – bigger / choir feel] Sing to my headstone Broken love carved in bone Hear the voice beneath the ground In your silence I am found Lay beside me in the cold Where our dying story's told You escaped the life we made But you never left the grave [Outro – slow / fading] Cold rain falls on my name in stone But I’m not sleeping here alone…
