I walk around with notes
that reverb through my bones
this morning came with birds stripped off their calls
I look around for another grieving soul

But I see ruins in wilderness
I see hearts filled with emptiness

I feel through my bones
the gasping song in aching notes
everywhere I see the mark of man
everything is as black as sin

Solemn death, a final breath as you accept the curse of man
Scream out your pain, your pride in shame for the suffering you give all of us

No more ruins in wilderness
decayed hearts void of emptiness
no more springing
no more dying
no more singing
no more weeping
