Cry for the Dead Lyrics

I'm in the middle of a catastrophe
I can't mourn for those behind me
I stand staring at the stones upon the ground
The tribute within the granite on the mound

I can't live without the ones I love
I am nothing without them now

You can't imagine how it feels to me
You know I won't survive this tragedy
I stand counting all the stones upon the ground
And read the names on the granite in the mound

I can't live without the ones I love
I am nothing without them now

I can't live without the ones I need
Don't know if I know how
I am shadowed by the thoughts in my own head
And I'm not ashamed that I cry for the dead

We may never heal from our history
We may never care or feel again
I walk away from counting stones upon the ground
It's so peaceful here, the dead don't make a sound

I can't live without the ones I love
I am nothing without them now

I can't live without the ones I need
Don't know if I know how
I am shadowed by the thoughts in my own head
And I'm not ashamed that I cry for the dead

I can't live without the ones I love
