Disown / Unknown Songtext
von Laeds

In blackness the countryside rumbles and screams
From outside
Thin glass of long windows muffles the streams of rain
On its side

The old man lies in pain at the bottom of the stairs
Twisted and withered
As he coughs his own blood he knows he′s lucky to be alive
All things considered

He flutters
Gasping as he shudders
Coping
Giving up all hoping
Believing
That he's leaving nothing he loves

(Fists clenched tight he rolls on his back
Thousands of shivers crawl down his back)


(Alone he′d built
His throne in time
Unknown to most
Disowned his life)

His eyes find the painting throning with untouched pride
Over the stairs
She smiles more than ever, knowing that on his side
She'll spend the rest of her days
Then she gave him two creatures and he disappeared
Working for a brighter tomorrow
And each day she found herself waking up alone
Bartering worries with sorrow

He flutters
Gasping as he shudders
Coping
Giving up all hoping
Believing
That he's leaving nothing he loves

(Fists clenched tight he rolls on his back
Thousands of shivers crawl down his back)


(Alone he′d built
His throne in time
Unknown to most
Disowned his life)

(Probably forgot
Forgot them all
So much love left)
