In the absence of light
Darkness prevails
Above unmarked graves
A cloud of black veils

On wet ground we stand
Returning that which we owe
A fallen brother under marble
A monument for woe

So how come our children left us? (Why?)
How come flowers rot and die? (And reborn)
How come mothers left to mourn? (Why?)
And in agony, fathers cry

Where souls have touched
Loved ones were never apart
Moments were always cherished
By the warmth of our hearts
Beneath the old oak tree
We shed tears and grieve
And try to find comfort
In the raindrops on the leaves

So how come our children left us? (Why?)
How come flowers rot and die? (And reborn)
How come mothers left to mourn? (Why?)
And in agony, fathers cry

All that is left is a necklace
A broken heart, a cold stone
An image carved in memory
And the anguish we face alone

So how come our children left us? (Why?)
How come flowers rot and die? (And reborn)
How come mothers left to mourn? (Why?)
And in agony, fathers cry
