Pyre

Our eyes refuse to rest
And show no sign of closing
The longest night is met
With breaking light (approaching)
We tread grounds that hold our weight But seeds of dread are flowering Can our will survive?
Or will the fire below devour it
Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre
(But will you join me in the fall?)
And I can tell that you're losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre
Behind these eyes I know
The love they bear is torn with heartache Will the world forget my name
And all I've done be erased?
Replaced?
Prise my eyes awake
Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre
And I can tell that you're losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre
Hold me close
Don't ever let me lose
The thing I love the most
Let die the embers
