Skeletons In The Graveyard

In the nights shadow
Where the moonlight fades
Lies a graveyard of dreams
And hope decayed
Beneath the soil
My secrets are kept
Skeletons of my past
In silence they wept
Whispers of bottles
Clinking in the dark
Echo through the tombstones
Leaving their mark
Ghost of the fallen
Lost in their plight
Drowning in sorrow
This dark empty night
The poison flows
Like a river of despair
Through my veins I'm broken
By deaths hollow stare
Each sip a dagger
Each gulp a chain
Hiding from hells fury
Escaping endless pain
This graveyard of memories
Where shadows creep
Lies the truth I've hidden
In a restless sleep
Skeletons of my past
In the cold earth lie
I'm losing the battle
Fought in my minds eye
No redemption found
In the bottom of the glass
Only the haunting
Of my life lived too fast
In the graveyard of dreams
Where the moonlight fades
Skeletons of my past
Hidden in the shade
