The Loss Lyrics

Once upon a time
In a world too painful to cope with
Lived a man
Too brave and too noble
But bravery is not enough
The fate is blind and unrelenting
A crooked figure cloaked in ragged mist
Smiles at you awry

Vermillion sunsets and death camps
Leper colonies and snowflake symmetry
Sublime hymns and deathbed curses
Are the features of the same face

To the land of fantasies
You escape from the void
Quaint delusions mend you
Bone by bone
The disease and the cure
Your denial and your repentance
Are just features
Features of the same face
