The air forgot how to answer
Stone remembers every word
Kneeling where voices gathered
Now only dust has heard
Candles bend in the breathing dark
Wax running like quiet years
Hands lifted out of habit
Not belief, only fear
Heaven closed its eyes
We scream to the sky
Faith died in the silence
No god left to cry
The walls keep every murmur
Carved deeper than bone
Someone once stood listening
Now we are alone
Every prayer returns to us
Cold and unfinished
Heaven closed its eyes
We scream to the sky
Faith died in the silence
No god left to cry
Ash gathers on the altar
Names fade from the stone
We speak to an absence
Older than the throne
Heaven closed its eyes
We scream to the sky
Faith died in the silence
No god left alive
The sky does not answer
Still we call its name
