Tales from Heaven or Hell

My father died today A lovely melody is fading My memories will stay For months he was waiting For you dark brother of sleep Limbs are crippled, pain can't be eased Decline and illness creep Open doors for you, he is released Is my life a castle built on sand Did I hold a liar's hand Walls of betrayal, roof of lies Oh I'm scared what if truth dies Whatever words will tell Tales from heaven or from hell They'll never change our past What is true will always last His life lies in my hand A story from an unknown dark land Happened many years ago In a town where silent winds blow Ashes to ashes he claims Scattered pieces, nothing remains But a fading melody Some loving words in a diary Is my life a castle built on sand Did I hold a liar's hand Walls of betrayal, roof of lies Oh I'm scared what if truth dies Whatever words will tell Tales from heaven or from hell Theyll never change our past What is true will always last
