Despised Icon - Day of Mourning lyrics
[Despised Icon - Day of Mourning lyrics]
A startling phone call led
To a night of little sleep
Counting blessings instead of sheep
We gathered the next morning
Renewing a bond weakened
By years of separation
And though our worlds had
Slowly drifted apart
The early memories we shared still remained
Timeless in our hearts, there was a time when
We closely followed each others footsteps
Dreaming of endless summers
And becoming drummers
Those days are gone
We mourn the loss of a childhood friend
Trapped in a man's fading intellect
So long let these tears wash away the
Blood on your hands so long
You're forgiven for easing her pain
I can still picture the
Apartment where it took place
We used to play for hours downstairs
Beating drums and hitting snares
Embrace those times to endure
That day felt like your funeral
Until we meet again
You will never be forgotten
To a night of little sleep
Counting blessings instead of sheep
We gathered the next morning
Renewing a bond weakened
By years of separation
And though our worlds had
Slowly drifted apart
The early memories we shared still remained
Timeless in our hearts, there was a time when
We closely followed each others footsteps
Dreaming of endless summers
And becoming drummers
Those days are gone
We mourn the loss of a childhood friend
Trapped in a man's fading intellect
So long let these tears wash away the
Blood on your hands so long
You're forgiven for easing her pain
I can still picture the
Apartment where it took place
We used to play for hours downstairs
Beating drums and hitting snares
Embrace those times to endure
That day felt like your funeral
Until we meet again
You will never be forgotten
