- LET ME GO -
Time seems to be rushing by
Loved ones become wraiths
And remaining memories
Surely fading away
I remember when I once had
All of eternity
When next morning was guaranteed
I know that I’m busting my ass
For an early spot in the grave
If I could just wash the blood from my hands
Maybe I could find my way back home
If I could shake off the cutting sand
Maybe I could find my way back home
Let me go
Let me
I am so sick and tired
Of endless graveside days
Something you never forget
That will not fade away
Do you remember when you had
All of eternity
When next morning was guaranteed?
Just like me are you turning grey
As the storm before the crows?
If I could just wash the blood from my hands
Maybe I could find my way back home
If I could shake off the cutting sand
Maybe I could find my way back home
Let me go
Let me
Home is just ahead
Through the swirling mists
Sea of grasping hands
Pull me back from the edge
I can’t remember when I had
All of eternity
Now the mourning is guaranteed
Will you read me a eulogy
Never judge me for who I am
If I could just wash the blood from my hands
Maybe I could find my way back home
If I could shake off the cutting sand
Maybe I could find my way back home
Let me go
Let me

Oh, my King ...
what a stunning lament;
your darkness has painted
such a thought provoking portrait of words ~
I am beside myself,
breathless ...

Thank you, dear Devil-lyn. I find myself pondering this everyday. I remember these thoughts being trivial when I was younger and thought myself, and family, immortal. I wish I could turn back the clock to all the things I took for granted.

Lord Hades....oh my....the darkness of these words caused a cloud around me in my lit room as I read each line....I am not alone when saying I won't "let you go"...no no no...I just simply can't have that...

I just feel that everything that ever loved me has moved on. I'm here, alone and find myself wishing to go back home with them.

No...not moved on....and most certainly not alone...they are ALWAYS with you...right on your shoulder, hovering above you watching while you sleep...they're with you more now than they ever were before because time and space has no limitations...I know I cannot ease the pain you are experiencing...just know in your heart, I squeeze yours with much love... xoxo Sacrificium
