Welcome to the Fatherless

Have you ever watched the light, The diamonds of the mind, Fade out of focus never to return? Felt your forefathers disappear From your reality only to haunt You in the dark of night when you Are all alone and feeling like You're out of time? Marched down the aisles of faces That are burned into your eyelids, So whenever you close your eyes, To try and be alone to escape, With a weight in your hands And on your shoulders? Well then join me, Brothers and sisters new and old, Welcome to the fatherless. Welcome to the ranks, With tired eyes and weary hands, We are joined in mourning. Welcome to the fatherless.
