Monuments
Echoes of Unbroken Souls: Monuments by Strung Out
Lyrics
Waiting
Anticipating
With the spirits of a lie
Accompanied by deceitful forces
I told my heartache
Expressing my pain
That I know that you are gone
Acknowledging your absence
Listen
Pay attention
And I promise I will stand before you
Promising to confront the situation
Unbroken
Remaining resilient
Cuz I know you just begun
Knowing your journey has just started
This is not the place where things come to die
Contrary to being a place of demise
You once told me
Recalling your past words during a brief encounter
As you were just passin by
Reflecting on a beginning with many lost along the way
We started out with 25 and lost everyone we knew
Commencing with a group and losing all companions
Some lost their minds
Some suffered mental breakdowns
Some never made it through
Some didn't survive
That little bit of sadness in your eyes
Noticing a hint of sorrow in your gaze
Reminds me that I'll never be alone again
Realizing I won't be alone due to shared pain
Like fallen angels that would never rise above
Similar to angels who can't recover from a fall
We are the ghosts of everything we love
We embody the remnants of what we cherished
My broken heart fell from the lonely red sky
My shattered heart fell from a desolate sky
And landed deep beneath the sea
Descended into profound depths
The captain and the pain
The leader and the agony lead without purpose
Will guide his ship in vein
Navigating aimlessly through symbolic places of honor and depth
Through the monuments and valleys deep below
Among the lasting memorials and profound lows
Hold fast now my dear old friend
Remain steadfast, my dear companion
We go around place again forever
We repeat our journey endlessly
Round and round we pass on through reckless and devouring forever
Circling through recklessness and consuming eternally
This is not a place to die
Emphasizing it's not a place for finality
