From the recording Eulogy of Man
Lyrics
‘Gasping for Fire’
Breathe...breathe
I filled my lungs for the first time
Without you here
The air tastes stale
Nothing is clear
It's getting dark
And I'm falling apart
I'm loading the gun
What do I do now
What could I have done
Standing in an open field suffocating
Gasping for your fire
This hurts
Knowing you're never coming home
Knowing you're never coming home
Knowing you're never coming home
The pain is unbearable
Did God decide
That my reason to live was to be buried alive
Standing in an open field suffocating
Gasping for your fire
Your life spent, passing the time, sitting with dead men
Your life spent, passing the time, sitting with dead men
No parent should ever have to bury their own child
How can I go on
Look into the mirror
Look into the eyes of my son
I have to live life for two now
I'll honor your life by living strong
