Threnody

A threnody is a wailing ode, song, hymn or poem of mourning composed or performed as a memorial to a dead person. The term originates from the Greek word θρηνῳδία (threnoidia), from θρῆνος (threnos, "wailing") and ᾠδή (oide, "ode"), the latter ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *h₂weyd- ("to sing") that is also the precursor of such words as "ode", "tragedy", "comedy", "parody", "melody" and "rhapsody". Synonyms include "dirge", "coronach", "lament" and "elegy". The Epitaphios Threnos is the lamentation chanted in the Eastern Orthodox Church on Holy Saturday. John Dryden commemorated the death of Charles II of England in the long poem Threnodia Augustalis, and Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a "Threnody" in memory of his son. more »

A victim of circumstance
Following a foreign feeling
Distorting the mind
Guided by the comfort

I've been living my life
Halfway from the bottom
Erasing who I am
For the hope of who I will be

Avoiding the world
To become complete

A void in the world; unrelenting
Can you see me?
Through the eye of a dead sun
Will you find your worth?

Two skies divide two stars collide
The light that blinds devoured by time
Have we reached the end? Or was it all for nothing?

Two stars ignite a fallen sky
The ground above and the heavens below
Can I challenge my fate? Or will I fade forever

Burn my eyes to dust

There's nothing left for me here
There never was

To become complete I avoided the world
But in the end I was just another casualty

Now without my vision
Now without a purpose
My body presses on
My mind is dead and gone

Dead and gone

Now without my vision
Now without a purpose
My body presses on
My mind is dead and gone
