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

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
