September Song Lyrics

September, field like any other where one short story came to its end

What darkness runs through the mind of those so young to paint so black a portrait

And little legs can only carry you so far, choking down tears terrified



I've heard screams in my sleep

Telling me to wake up from this dream I'm in

I've heard laughs from all three

Shielding his face from the stones they threw at him



Strangers fall upon one soul, like so many demons upon an angel fallen

He wonders what he's done to deserve this

"Please, I just want to go back home"

The child trips and falls, knees are bleeding

Stars and clouds fill his head

Can no one hear him screaming

He's screaming his throat red



This day, dark day innocence lost its way

This field this hell, is where an angel fell

This day, dark day innocence lost its way

This field this hell, is where an angel fell

This day, dark day innocence lost its way

This field this hell, is where an angel fell



Strangers fall upon one soul, like so many demons upon an angel fallen

He wonders what he's done to deserve this

"Please, I just want to go back home"

The child trips and falls, knees are bleeding

Stars and clouds fill his head

Can no one hear him screaming

He's screaming his throat red



He lays alone, no one to hold his hand, no one to tell him goodbye

He lies alone reaching for hands not there, to weak to cry, no one to wipe his eyes

And falling autumn leaves, is not a funeral

Handfuls of windblown dust, is not a burial
