The Wind Knows My Pain

Crushing the filter on the frozen sill.
Harbor draughts tear straight through the window blind.
You were still sleeping as I slipped away,
Swallowing my pride to leave peace behind...
I never begged for mercy or redemption.


Hear that low cry rolling off the bay?
The wind holds every truth we couldn't say.

Припев
The wind knows my pain down to the core,
Counting every breath that bleeds away!
We didn't steal each other from the shore —
I burned alive while you looked away...
Let the cold tempest sweep across the sea,
Tearing every ghost of you apart!


Bitter dregs left in a hollow glass.
Bruised knuckles pressed to naked concrete stone.
I loved without an exit or a shield,
Taking the freezing silence on my own.
Empty pockets and an endless night.


Even if you came back whispering "forgive" —
I would still walk out into the rain alone.
Hear the squall crashing down the cliffside?
That is my heart locked up behind the stone!


Припев
The wind knows my pain into the scream,
Howling for the broken and betrayed!
Through the pitch-black raging of the sea,
The final bridge of memory has decayed!
Drown the weeping, take my final air,
Lash my face with bitter salty spray!


Only the storm refused to lie to me,
Only the storm walks by my side!

Припев
The wind knows this agony forevermore,
Washing freezing footprints from the strand!
I loved you wild, reckless to the bone,
Dying on the edge of winter land!
Let the heavens roar until sunrise
This sacred pain remains forever mine!
