So many dreams have died

So many dreams have died

So many dreams have died
In my heart
And now another
Of you

How much more heartache must I take
Before I die?
What new pains
Must I learn
Before the darkness?

Let me retire from this life's race
Defeated and forgotten
Torment me not with stark remembrances
Of what could not be
Persecute not this weary soul
With hateful voices
