The Unmourned

(Verse 1) Boot up the night, hear the static hum Ash in the sky where the saints once run A teddy bear sits by the broken stairs Missing one eye with a frozen stare The mother cries where the candles fade While the daughter hides behind the barricade And the father who is possessed walks slowly through the hall Like something ancient is wearing his soul (Pre-Chorus) There’s a knife by the sink And a shadow by the door Every second makes you think You won’t make it anymore (Chorus) We are the unmourned Lost but never buried Hearts like broken sirens in the storm Every city burned Every memory carried Still, we rise through the dark reborn Hear the old piano softly play While the dead refuse to fade (Verse 2) Rust on the rails and blood on the screen Ghosts in the wires where the children scream The daughter whispers, “Don’t let him in.” But the father’s voice crawls under her skin The mother runs through the crimson light Holding that teddy bear way too tight And the hallway bends like a fever dream Nothing here is the way it seems (Bridge) No crown, no savior No promised land Just shadows and monsters With blood on their hands A knife in the dark A tune from the piano Echoing slow where nobody goes (Final Chorus) We are the unmourned Names the world discarded Marching through the wreckage till the dawn Though the ending’s blurred And the path is guarded We keep singing after all is gone Hear the piano one last time As the darkness steals the light We are, we are the unmourned
