Moss Songtext
von Fall of Carthage

We have come here together to mourn the loss of
And say farewell to our beloved friend
You′re not here, but your presence lingers in the shadows

Your words like daggers
Sling through the air, you know?
Smiles and hugs at the final show
Met some with indifference, their soul left to bare
Betrayed by their own stare, (own stare)

Buried beneath the trees
This apathy, unforgiving grief
In this graveyard of darkness, there
You're left to brood, neglected care


Now your last beat
Has been played
Can′t believe this is not a bad joke
We're gonna wait for ya
Why did you leave it all up to yourself?
We would have been there for you
Now saying prayers and lighting up candles
Is the only thing that we can do

Once revered, your golden mind roared with might
Now a haunting whisper in the dead of night
Ignored and unnoticed
Your spirit's been betrayed, no, No solace in the silence
Silence weighing heavy like dismay, eternal dismay

Now that we just lost a friend
Life is not the same again
Not the same without you man
I know we will meet again

Oh, Moss upon the tombstone, where memories decay
Once cherished and adored, now fading away
Moss upon the tombstone
Say will we meet again?
Scratch the moss from your epitaph, I feel like we are close
Close again


Your words like daggers
Your sharp mind, we had to let it go
Smiles and hugs at the final show
Met some with indifference, their soul left to bare
Betrayed by their own stare

Buried beneath the trees
This apathy, unforgiven grief
In this graveyard of darkness there, you′re left

Now your last beat
Has been played
Can′t believe this is not a bad joke
We're gonna wait for ya
Why did you leave it all up to yourself?
We would have been there for you
Now saying prayers and lighting up candles
Is the only thing that we can do

I′m yearning for our tears, our remorse-laden cries
To taste the bitterness, the pain that never
The pain that never dies
But alas, it's too late, it′s too late, time slips away
No redemption in guilt, just shadows (fuck shadows)
Shadows at play
Shadows at play
Shadows at play
Shadows at play
