Remembered Shame

[Verse 1]
You saved the lonely,
You saved the weak.
Time passed slowly,
So they could speak.
No problem now,
No one but you.
They won't allow,
They bled you through.
[Pre-Chorus]
You gave them all your flame,
They took and turned away.
They never knew your name,
With nothing left to say.
[Chorus]
You drank the cup, you bore the weight,
They kissed your cheek and sold your name.
You gave your blood to seal their fate,
And none of them remembered shame.
[Verse 2]
You gave them meaning,
You gave them voice.
You gave them being,
To make their choice.
They shine so bright,
With borrowed glow.
They win the night,
And leave you low.
[Pre-Chorus]
You gave them all your heart,
They crushed it in their hands.
You played the broken part,
Among their shifting sands.
[Chorus]
You drank the cup, you bore the weight,
They kissed your cheek and sold your name.
You gave your blood to seal their fate,
And none of them remembered shame.
[Bridge]
Your final breath,
A whispered prayer.
Beyond all death,
No one is there.
[Final Chorus]
You drank the cup, you bore the weight,
They kissed your cheek and sold your name.
You gave your blood to seal their fate,
And none of them remembered shame.
