Abandoned

We are the dead
The lost and forgotten
Failing bodies on a dying earth
In need of something more

Why do we cry out?
Why do we cry out to nothing?
No sign in the stars
An abandoned body gone cold without Your presence

We are the children of widowed mothers
Worn and in need of rest
We are finished

Don't forget how we've suffered and have been disgraced
We must never lose sight

Not knowing if we can ever find peace or happiness
The dark abyss in our hearts is our only true home
