The walk is slow
Fear guiding every step
Painful and poignant
The flame burns within
Distance slowly grows
Feet, heavier than lead
Can't move, can't speak
The Nile runs through burning eyes
Pours salt into the wound
Bum, bump. Bum, bump.
Pounding, Louder, harder...
Bum, bump. Bum, bump.
Can you hear the sound?
Hearts breaking, pain churning

The walk is slow
No, not another step
Come back, go on
A vision torn apart
Lay me down
Sing to me my masterpiece
Muscles ache
Scream at every touch
Hold too tight
Yet not enough
Can't watch this dreaded end
