Lost Angel

In the silence, shadows fall,

Echoes of what used to be,

A heavy heart, a heavy call,

It's just my pain, and memories.

Once a boy, full of dreams,

Held your hand, and made you smile,

But I faltered in my schemes,

Lost my hope, for a little while.

Thought I’d shield you from the rain,

Couldn’t see I was the storm,

Now I carry all the shame,

In this silence, I feel worn.

Brother, I failed you, can’t you see?

In the dark, your light was lost,

Carrying the weight of memory,

Can't escape the painful cost.

Every laugh brings a tear,

Every song, an aching heart,

You were the one I held dear,

Now I struggle in the dark.

Still hear your voice, it's a dream,

But I wake up, you're not there,

You were my crown, my evergreen,

Now it's guilt that's hard to bear.

Brother, I failed you, can’t you see?

In the dark, your light was lost,

Carrying the weight of memory,

Can't escape the painful cost.

If I could turn the clock around,

I'd take you back from the unknown,

I'd fight the shadows that abound,

Bring you home, where love was grown.

Brother, I failed you, can’t you see?

In the dark, your light was lost,

Carrying the weight of memory,

Can't escape the painful cost.

Now I stand, a broken wall,

With empty spaces, I must roam,

In this ache, I hear your call,

Forever lost, but never gone.
