R mein brance Too many to mourn for Too many unnamed Too many to pray for Too many to save All lost too fast All should have lived All ghosts of the past Who I can't life give Too many drowning in fear and hate Too many lost Who realised too late That the sun always rises After the darkness And even the night 15 lit by the stars And the moon watching down On a dying, mindless mortal

Can still shine its light In the caves of the heart

Too many to cry for Too many who bled Too many to call for Too many all dead
