The Stages Of Grief

Ice, ice,

The bringer of life;

How can I go on without you?

*****

Gin, gin,

The bringer of sin;

Life's meaningless without you

*****

Pray, pray,

The bringer of day,

For I can go on without you

*****

Lies, lies,

The bringer of guise;

The truth comes out without you

*****

Pain, pain,

The bringer of rain;

My tears still fall without you.
