Gone Too Soon
From the album From Dust to Defiance
A melancholic and poignant song mourning those who left too early and the emptiness they left behind.
Lyrics (translation)
[Verse 1]
You slipped through my hands like sand in the wind I never said the words, now I’m paying for my sins Your light’s gone cold, left a hole in my chest I’m chasing your ghost, but there’s nothing left
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock keeps ticking, it’s tearing me apart I’d give it all to speak to your heart
[Chorus]
Gone too soon, you’re a shadow in my soul I learned too late what I should’ve known From the dust I scream, with the pain I ignite I’ll carry your name through the endless night
[Verse 2]
I took you for granted, thought time wouldn’t end Now I’m drowning in silence, no way to amend Your voice still echoes, it cuts like a blade I’m lost in the dust, where your memory fades
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock keeps ticking, it’s tearing me apart I’d give it all to speak to your heart
[Chorus]
Gone too soon, you’re a shadow in my soul I learned too late what I should’ve known From the dust I scream, with the pain I ignite I’ll carry your name through the endless night
[Verse 3]
I’m piecing together the moments we lost Each smile, each word, now they come at a cost I’m fighting the void, but it’s pulling me down Still I rise from the ashes, I won’t let you drown
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock keeps ticking, it’s tearing me apart I’d give it all to speak to your heart
[Chorus]
Gone too soon, you’re a shadow in my soul I learned too late what I should’ve known From the dust I scream, with the pain I ignite I’ll carry your name through the endless night
[Bridge]
I’m done with the regrets, I’m done with the shame I’ll carve your memory, I’ll scream out your name No time can erase you, no dark can consume I’ll fight through the loss till I break through the gloom
[Final Chorus]
Gone too soon, you’re a shadow in my soul I learned too late what I should’ve known From the dust I scream, with the pain I ignite I’ll carry your name through the endless night
[Outro]
From the dust I was born, through the loss I remain Your light’s in my heart, I’ll carry the pain
