Lyrics:
The cruelest year,
Stole lives too young,
And many more still,
In the balance hung.

We couldn't breathe,
Try as we might,
Fragile as feedback,
Hopeless as the night.

But the course has run,
The damage done,
The slate wiped clean again.

The cruelest year,
Tore lives apart,
Its greedy fingers,
Rending blameless hearts.

This empty space,
Where once love dwelled,
Razed to foundations,
Left an empty shell.

But the course has run,
The damage done,
The slate wiped clean again.

The cruelest year,
Left us behind,
The mangled wreckage,
Of our lives entwined.

We bore the scars,
Mistakes we made,
The walking wounded,
In a grim parade.

But the course has run,
The damage done,
The slate wiped clean again.

But the course has run,
The damage done,
The slate wiped clean again.
