Shadows of Our Yesterdays

What will you do if no one
Hears your screams?
What will you do if you don’t
Wake up from this dream?

The spruces stand in silence
The oaks don’t say a word
Knowing the answer
That you’ll have never heard

“It’s so dark
I feel cold
Oh, my brother
Why can’t we go home?
Why is no one here with
You and me?”

“They stole the sun
That guides our way for us
My little sister
Now we’re wandering under
Lightless skies

We are lost in here
Never we’ll find our way home
Our way home
In a maze of branches, roots
And leaves, all alone
All alone

They broke our trust
Lied to us
Words turned into
Transient dust
They’re nothing now
But shadows
Of our yesterdays”

“Leafless boughs
Lifeless wood
Brother, yet I haven’t
Understood
Why all these breadcrumbs
Lead to nothingness”

“When we’ll have found
Our way out
We’ll remember how they
Made us bleed
A friend in need’s
A friend indeed”

What will you do if no one
Hears your screams?
What will you do if you don’t
Wake up from this dream?
