Analysis of Hold to my words
Hold to my words
I lost in this forgotton world
no one can be saved
One road to another place
no where to go
So we cry ourself to sleep
Hold ourself when we are cold
We don't understand the feelings
When they are gone to join
The others waiting above
Calling them home
We tell friends but they don't know
How dear they parents are to them
Hold to my words
You never know
When you will miss them
When you get called home
Forever in memoies
Forever in mind
I pray to my keeper
I lay my head down
To see tomorrow morning sun light
Not the forever darken nights instand
