Texty: AmeDeus. Other. Before Your Eyes Could Open.

Before your eyes could open I had to choose?Remorse
A word I know so well
If only I knew then of hell, self hatred, and regret
A choice that I will not forget
The choice, I made to dig your grave

Before your eyes could open, before your voice could sing
I closed them and I silenced you eternally
I will never know, I will never know you
Forgive me, please forgive me?!

Chorus:
This silence in the night was never my desire
I wish that I could sing you back to sleep
These lullabies I wrote are falling on dead ears
And no right to choose in all the world
Could swallow up these tears

I look into your loving eyes
So beautiful, so full of joy
A hint of hers, a hint of mine
Oh the dreams I have for you
Oh the dreams?...I wake to find myself alone
Reality returns to me as I realize (If only I had known)
That this was never meant to be
And you always were?Forgive me!

(Chorus)

I wish that I were handing you these roses on your birthday.
Not laying them before a grave in which you will forever lay.
Marked by a headstone on which is written
I will never know your eyes,
I will never know your voice, forgive me

(Chorus)

My God, my God
You're the only one that can replace these pieces
Stolen from my heart
