lyrics

She walked with the haunted
Needled at wounds
Dug through the aftermath

A heart for the broken,
those just trying
to figure it all out

Requiem aeternam

A pink light on
the river Foyle
“Derry is beautiful”

When trouble rains you were a shelter
No sense to it, we’re all in a dream
Saint-like appearing bearing a message
“Keep hanging on, kid. Keep hanging on.”

Ne cadant in obscurum

I feel an absence where your voice once filled my heart
I hear your laughter like an echo running down the halls
I feel an absence every time I read your name
I see your face on every screen across the universe

They painted your mural down by the Sunflower
You’re always there to say with a smile
“It’s going to get better. It won’t always be like this.”
Which some kid will read and weep in relief
I’m losing touch with all of your friends
Pieces of you fly off with the wind
From a bedroom in a forgotten town
A voice screams in the dark
turn the lights on
