NO TOMBSTONE (Reimagined)

piano-driven; piano, cello, violin; stripped; ballroom; haunting; sad; emotional; no percussion, no drums

And I still hear them call my name…
But when I turn, there's no one left to blame.

If I fall here... bury my name in the wind
Let the storm take what was never meant to begin
No tombstone, no mark, no trace of my skin

No name, no rest, just the wind to take me
Bury my bones in the storm that raised me
We were ghosts long before we caved in
There won't be a tombstone where I'm layin'

Shattered helmets in the mud, rusted steel over hollow bones
Another life for the history books, another soul that time disowns
(oh, the rain can't wash this away...)
I left my prayers in the embers, but the fire swallowed them whole
Now I’m speaking in tongues to the dead, but they won’t take me home

And I still hear them call my name
But when I reach, I’m grasping at the rain

If I fall here... bury my name in the wind
Let the storm take what was never meant to begin
No tombstone, no mark, no trace of my skin

No name, no rest, just the wind to take me
Bury my bones in the storm that raised me
We were ghosts long before we caved in
There won't be a tombstone where I'm layin'

I tried, I tried to hold on… but the ground caved beneath me
I tried to remember… but their faces are fading
I tried to be strong… but this war never ended
I tried..
I tried..
But no one was listening.

I WATCHED THEM SINK BENEATH THE CLAY
NO CROSS, NO SHRINE, NO WORDS LEFT TO SAY
WHAT IS A WAR IF THERE'S NO ONE TO WIN?
WHAT IS A NAME IF IT DIES IN THE WIND?

WHAT IS IT?
WHAT IS IT?

THE EARTH CONSUMES
AND THE SKY FORGETS,
EVERY MARK WE LEAVE IS ERASED IN THE END

Do you remember me?
Did I ever exist?
My hands, oh, if my hands turn to dust...
Will I fade like this?

(If I fall here bury my name in the wind...)

No name, no rest, just the wind to take me
Bury my bones in the storm that raised me
We were ghosts long before we caved in
There won't be a tombstone where I'm layin'

And I still hear them call my name
But when I turn there's no one left to blame

The rain won’t wash the blood away, it just sinks into the dirt Footsteps lost in flooded graves, names erased beneath the earth (oh, the rain won't wash it away....) I trace the letters in the stone, but they fade beneath my hand What’s the point of carving lines if the world won’t let them stand? And I still hear them call my name… But when I turn, there's no one left to blame. If I fall here... bury my name in the wind Let the storm take what was never meant to begin No tombstone, no mark, no trace of my skin No name, no rest, just the wind to take me Bury my bones in the storm that raised me We were ghosts long before we caved in There won't be a tombstone where I'm layin' Shattered helmets in the mud, rusted steel over hollow bones Another life for the history books, another soul that time disowns (oh, the rain can't wash this away...) I left my prayers in the embers, but the fire swallowed them whole Now I’m speaking in tongues to the dead, but they won’t take me home And I still hear them call my name But when I reach, I’m grasping at the rain If I fall here... bury my name in the wind Let the storm take what was never meant to begin No tombstone, no mark, no trace of my skin No name, no rest, just the wind to take me Bury my bones in the storm that raised me We were ghosts long before we caved in There won't be a tombstone where I'm layin' I tried, I tried to hold on… but the ground caved beneath me I tried to remember… but their faces are fading I tried to be strong… but this war never ended I tried..
