lyrics

We walk hand in hand
Down this dreary rain-drenched path
And though our hearts still
Beat we fear our time has passed
We walk in silence
Together but still alone
We walk and beg the
Setting sun to take us home

And so far from Earth
Where the gyre ebbs and flows
even the stars feel ‘lone
And in that silence we wove, she takes my hand and says to me,
My love our hearts are lost within that terrible sea

An acrid frigid
Breeze bites bitter at our bones
And on that silent
Path we drop our wilted rose
And so far from Earth
Even stars can feel alone
Her cold hand in mine
Tells me it’s time to let go

Still there she stands, and clasped in her hands is
Nothing she says and nothing she shows
But still she feels safe oh from my embrace
For poison’s my touch, and poison’s my tongue
And nothing I've sain can ever be changed,
She’s dark and she's cold, even to me
So I’ll take the blame and sign off my name
To the atrocity that I’ve made of her and

She sighs, and in the silence breaks
Saying she can’t go on

I walk in silence
Down an empty rain-stained path
And though my heart still
Beats I fear my time has passed
And so far from earth
Where the gyre ebbs and flows
Even stars feel ‘lone
And in the silence we wove
I claw her skin and
Beg her flesh to not leave me
Left without my breath

And she

She sighs and, condescends my wish
And so I’m left behind, taking every painful breath

Oh I feel sick and pale, as if my bloods all dried
Instead pumps through my veins all the tears I’ve cried
So with every cell, every fang and tooth
I beg the open sky ‘deluge let loose’

Wash me clean
Of sin and skin

An acrid frigid
Breeze bites bitter at my bones
And on that silent path
I grip our wilted rose
And in the silence
I can’t help but feel alone
I beg the setting
Sun to come and take me home
Thorns stick in my flesh
And drink up my wretched blood
I close tight my eyes
And brace for the coming flood

Still there she stands, and clasped in her hands is
Nothing she says and nothing she shows
But still we, we walk, and talk past our past
But poison’s my touch, and poison’s my tongue
And nothing I've sain will ever be changed,
She’s dark and she’s cold, even to me
And under my hands she turns to sand
And she starts to fade, she’s fading away

Tell me she says, are we at the end?
And I nod, I cry, at the greying sky
It’s here and it’s now, though I don’t know how
And I’m cold and scared of this sickening air
And she’s in the mist, she’s fading with it
And I try to hold, hold her with me but. . .
