Verse 1
 Wasted years
  through portals the realm of touch
 All these tears
  these screams of pain are just too much
 See past this fear
  now Angels will dust your path
 Outside this sphere
  to the space in the aftermath

Chorus
 Take away these years
 And just tell these tears
 To wash away our fears
 Words are what are not enough

Verse 2
 Wasted years
  oceans of love to give
 I cry these tears
  for the years that can't be lived

Chorus

Verse 3
 How can we take away
  this torment of the soul
 What are we gonna say
  when no words can be told
 Why were you taken then
  the sands of time are gone
 When will we meet again
  just to live what could have been
 Wasted years
  and so many wasted times
 Wasted tears
  but from what we had the bells will always chime

Chorus

Track ends with banter recorded at the end of the last
ShellShock band practise before Rafe went to Paris.

SORROW REIGNS THIS DAY

Written by Chris Maher
Performed by i-def-i

Dear god, A stolen life for what cause?
Some reward for living with a purpose
Expelling life from these lungs
We Inhale this sorrow

Heavens have rained and we stand in the cold
Deliver him safe to a better world

Engraved a mark upon this stone
 so we can forever remember
Who‘s next in line, what’s next to fall

Dear god you proved that nothing is sacred,
 just 23 years of his gentle nature
So Show me what is worth saving

With No reason, we had to let you go.
 To the grave we lay a friend but its not the end
Forever with us a never ending love.
 To the grave we lay a friend but its not the end.

And nothing is as it seems. in a second become disconnected,
 an ill twist of fate, a collapsed guarantee
Taken from you when you least expect it.
And nothing is for certain, a twist of fate has taken.

Clenched the fists its blood for blood,
 to defend with brothers love
Beyond the grave it never stops watching over
I pray I never have to deal with all the pain they've had to feel,
 I see a sadness at the wheel driving this pain
The memories of you will remain,
 the privilege of the shows we played
And through it all we can say your mark is made!!!

This sea of sorrow will follow
 and wash this heartache upon these shores
And when these waves have finally ceased
 these pools of tears will store this love

With No reason, we had to let you go.
 To the grave we lay a friend but its not the end
Forever with us a never ending love.
 To the grave we lay a friend but its not the end.

The heavens have rained and we stand in the cold.
Your memory safe in the hearts you touched,
 we lay you to rest now sleep well my friend.
For beyond the grave this will never end.
