More Than You Know - Adestria

More Than You Know - Adestria
Denial surrounds a naive boy
As he plays in the field
Precious time escapes him
Ignorant to what is real
There's a thief in the shadows
Waiting to breed
To take away what is his
To take from him what he needs
"Now my son be strong
(along the path of life) "
In his flesh these words have carried on
She worries for him
To keep him calm
Her love runs through forever on
Forever true
He fights the truth he has within
Refuses to let the sea of reason in
A father grows numb
His weakness he dare not show
A child robbed of love
Too young to know
The chasm grows too wide
As they struggle to save a precious life
For another day
She sat through nights
And held him tight
Thankful for the years
Knowing the end was in sight
Accepting what she'd feared
"Now my son be strong
(along the path of life) "
In his flesh these words have carried on
She worries for him
To keep him calm
Her love runs through forever on
Forever true
As time runs out
Everything he never said
Every chance he never took
Plays over in his head
And he screamed at the sky
The body of a woman
That he still loves
Lays lifeless before his eyes
A hollow vessel at rest
Opens up to the skies
Does death give way to peace
Or just oblivion
Another life cut short
Another victim of the villain
My heart has struggled to comprehend
How I'll stick through 'til the end
But even the deepest sorrow
Will lose it's scalpel edge
But even the deepest sorrow
Will lose it's scalpel edge
