<br />In tones so long and low?
<br />Whose death do you mourn?
<br />Whose still heart has stopped your own?”
<br />
<br />“My Emptiness died, and Friend, I urge
<br />Your absence when you know
<br />That though I'm torn, I do not mourn;
<br />Her death has brought me hope.
<br />
<br />“From sorrow it has flung my heart,
<br />Into a deep despair,
<br />Yet in this despair there is a light,
<br />And sweet, sweet life hangs in the air.
<br />
<br />“In this life I know not where to start.
<br />This Freedom I cannot bear;
<br />But She gives me strength and love and might.
<br />For myself that’s beyond compare.
<br />
<br />“My voice is lifting up the pain
<br />And purging it through song.
<br />The pain that Emptiness brought to me,
<br />That made me feel so lost, so wrong.
<br />.
<br />“Never will I feel that again,
<br />For Freedom makes me strong.
<br />Her love holds me closely, powerfully.
<br />It’s what I’ve needed all along.
<br />
<br />“So Friend, you need to understand
<br />That though this hymn is sad,
<br />Without it I would cease to live,
<br />And, in truth, it makes me glad.
<br />
<br />“Freedom lent her loving hand
<br />And laughing then began.
<br />There is nothing more that She could give
<br />Than that which makes me glad.
<br />
<br />“I know not how Emptiness came to end,
<br />Just that She had to go;
<br />She’d forced me almost to the edge,
<br />Where I lost my ability to cope.
<br />
<br />“Emptiness is gone forever, my Friend,
<br />And has left me here to grow.
<br />Leave now in the knowledge
<br />That Her death has brought me hope”
