Tomb Omnia

You never were aware of me since you died
 Certain years before my birth
 I'm about your age now
 Soon to attain the days you lost your vital spark
 Although you're not my father
 I'm nevertheless your daughters' brother
 We will never meet in person
 And I'll never lay roses, just thorns to your grave
 It was more than three decades ago
 They found you close to the woods
 Your gaunt dead body
 Held by nothing but this plaited noose
 My sister was with them
 Till today she failed to forget
 To her you will never age
 Your face will never grow old
 These days of autumn at least wrecked their lives
 And in the long run, somehow it too shattered mine
 There's no way anybody will get well again
 And in no way, anybody will be the same again
 There is this graveyard far up in the mountains
 We met up there in last winter's coldest night
 When mom brought you dewy flowers
 Like she did in all the years before
 There's so much death up there
 Especially at night
 Maybe that's the reason
 It's the only place I feel home
 I can totally get your motives
 As I know of severity too
 I was always aware
 That nothing ends with suicide
 I was always aware
 That people die from sadness
 We move up to the gallows, straight up to the noose
 In this state of depression there's no time left to lose
 So we pour this tree, this life of reckless dedication
 How couldn't we? Our coffin's shaped by its wood
 I don't know if you care
 But your old cabin still guards the gates to the woods
 It's still watching the mountains grow
 Watching all these years passing by
 And after death almost seized it
 We gave our best to fill it with life
 It still looks the same like back in the old days
 As you'd have left it just last June
