Peace - The Gloom In The Corner, Kadeem France

We gather here today to mourn the loss of a brother and a friend

If you could all please rise and join me

«Rain pours, washing away

Any trace of love

Replaced with dismay

This room so quiet…

This room, so quiet without your voice;

The final bell calls but all I hear is noise

The blind lead the blind and death follows suit

Consuming the people we thought we once knew

There’s a problem with the world today

Coffin nail, oh how your echo haunts me;

Claiming what’s not yours

Taken to the dirt, forever more

I’ve stood up so many times to say goodbye

But this time I feel the fault is mine

How many times did I watch you fall asleep?

How could have I known what you were dreaming?

I hope today that you’re finally at peace;

A melancholic pause for loss and the in between

We all say that we should have known

But it’s always too late when the true scars start to show

Will you remember me in the next life?

If you do, please know I tried

And while you had suffering

I was left with loathe

(Kadeem France of Loathe)

«Please wake me from this bad dream

The darkness here is forever unending

We once walked side by side;

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

Father above, please hear me now

You didn’t before;

I hope you’re listening now

You all watch me like a scapegoat

Tell me;

what did you do to fix my sorrow?»

We did nothing but walk on by;

Ignorant of what was on your mind

You lost the battle, but we lost the war

A kingdom falls, as do we all

Live.

Serve.

Die

(That's all we know)

Live.

Serve.

Die

(That's all you know)

Live.

Serve.

Die

(With S-1−3)

Live.

Serve.

Die

(Carved in your tombstone)

You walked across a sea of flames

But when the temperature rose we never bothered to help

We forgot, left you behind, ignoring the pain in your eyes

Now you’re gone I can’t find the words to say

The right words to say…

(Dear old friend, my brother in arms

A soul so broken;

we could not mend

I hope your soul rests in a world so calm

A more deserving end)

Rain pours, washing away

Any trace of love, replaced with dismay

You gave up all that you owned;

Your love, your family, your home

But what I regret the most was giving up on you."
