The Slow Ascent

In the void, earth's asleep
The sickness grows
Embraced by it's tainted wings
We still bleed

Cold... oblivious... dying... star

Drown my tears
With your life
Let me rise
Let me sleep
In your arms
One more night

Paint like rust, covers me
Like the blood
Deep, deep within her mourning womb
Only night, only night

"Into the dark
Thru sullen lights
I remember
Torn apart
From the violent beating
Of a heartless winter
I long to rise to feel"

Cold... oblivious... dying... sun

Drown my tears
With your life
Let me rise
In your arms
I'll let go
Of this endless night

Now that you're gone
Winter's come
Please, let me rise
Please, let me feel
