Poisoned

The way you walk, the way you sing
The way you hold on to everything
I know it, I know it well
Nothing really left to tell

Diamond eyes and a studded cross
Through the harm drenched fields we walked
I held you like a bag of bones
Didn’t even feel like your own

‘Cause I saw the pain fall around you
To the day, it chained you thin
And I saw murder in the background
Images they fade, poisoned

Cold, hands of men around your throat
Emblazed, mark upon the human soul
Enchained, blood it runs down to the bone
Encaged, forever sorrow’s mark be told

‘Cause I saw the pain fall around you
To the day, it chained you thin
I saw murder in the background
Images they fade, poisoned

I held you like a bag of bones
Didn’t even feel like your own
You tried to walk with me in a straight line
That’s when I saw you for the last time
