1.
Open yourself to me Consumed by my misery Your blackened wings unfurled And the ashes fell like snow The ghosts that reside in this place A reminder of the life that we shared In you, I saw reflections of a cold, winter day Where the sun refused to shine These years have stolen everything from me But, time can not claim your memory Time can't take your memory from me In dying light I'll carry this weight In dying light I'll see your ghost again The future holds nothing for me Trapped in the darkness, alone Tired eyes, cursed to wake to another day Slipping further down into despair

Your Heaven 08:02
Without your voice I am sightless and alone Haunted by the memories of a place I once called home Shadows force their way inside and paint depictions of my grief I lament for providence but my faith abandons me Growing cold with every hour of this endless night The broken wings that expand behind me are incapable of flight Mired deep within my sullen ruin Amidst the dust and bereft of your light Divine hands that crafted your wings Bind me, hopeless, to my despair The sands of time, for me, shall fall no longer This growing darkness I can not escape Desperate prayers have gone unanswered I know your Heaven was never in reach At last, the rain did cease And a thunderous silence beset me Grey skies give way To an aching clarity You're no longer here But, I can't forget your face I need to feel something real The caress of cold steel Metallic taste on my tongue My hands are shaking But, my senses are numb I need to feel your pain I need to know your Heaven is real Under my own heartbeat And heavy breath There is no sound But, that of time fading away In these final moments We are truly alone Until the silence takes us away Away from this life
