Lyrically Speaking

Hi all. I've never posted here before, but I'll give it a shot. I write lyrics alot, music is really important to me. Okay, here goes:

Nothing Left

There’s a burning tree standing by itself
It set my soul on fire, lying next to you, in this big old house,
But I woke up breathing ashes
Covered by the smoldering branches
And now I think in terms of seconds
I’m counting down till someone answers me…

The rain pours hard down in the grove
Washes the blood from ground where heroes died, and soldiers rode,
But some were too afraid to cower
They were ruled by pride, controlled by power,
Then sunlight reined its piercing shower
How sad, how sad, how glad is our nation…

What did you come here for?
What did you come here for?
There’s nothing left.
We are all the dead.
There’s nothing left.
There’s nothing left.

There’s an old man crying on the side of the road.
All he really needs is a way to go home.
A way to be loved.
A warm body to hold.
A goddamn place in the world
And a way to get home.

What did you come here for?
What did you come here for?
There’s nothing left.
We are all the dead.
There’s nothing left.
There’s nothing left.

I hope you came here for me.
I hope you came to take me away.
There’s nothing left.
We are all the dead.
