These Weary Bones

Deep within
 These crumbling walls
 A frail, battered soul
 Clings to what once was whole
 Bereft of the fires of life
 What's left lies buried 'neath ice
 A spirit old, a spirit worn
 Reduced to a whisper, begging for no more
 ♪
 A flickering flame
 Falters beneath pain
 A once proud name
 Cowers behind shame
 ♪
 Crumpled lungs give barely a breath
 This life more akin to death
 Silent echoes of sorrow
 Fill empty caverns with resounding woe
 ♪
 Years gone
 Years to go
 And these weary bones
 Are so tired
 ♪
 Struggling
 To keep fighting
 And these hollow limbs
 Are weakening
 ♪
 Endless
 Yearning
 And these age old wounds
 Are still bleeding
 Eternity
 Beckoning
 And this agony
 Without ending
