The world was in ruin
Everyone we loved, everyone we knew turned against us
Hearts were broken, dreams shattered, blood covered the ground
Some of them left, without a word, without the last "good-bye"
Some of us did the same, sneaking out in the middle of the night while there was still something left of who we once were
He tried to fix it; tried to tamper with forces no mortal should be allowed to
He tried to turn back time, prevent all of this from happening
But Death was vigiliant; It knew the consequences; It intervened
It always does
We woke up in a new world, quieter and whole
Only few of us remained, brand of Death burnt into our skin
It gave us a gift, a new start
And we took it graciously, still broken, still in pain
But hopeful one day we will see sun again
