Wither

Oh, hear the frail sigh of death, collapsing
Still she walks among us
Head held high, tarnished in perfect failure
A wreckage, a shell, pitiful and weak
Crushed beneath the weight of mercy

Those timeless wings of radiant sorrow
Withering, as dust, to nothingness

'Forgive me, Father
I am but a thread, unraveling
Lost unto the air
I am undone
I am undone'

Oh failure, subside
That my voice no longer be still beneath your shadow
Spread no more those wings of sorrow
Withering, as dust, to nothingness
