The Offering

[00:24.18] On through the burning night
[00:27.10] The fever and the fear
[00:30.49] Against the gates of death
[00:32.87] I pound, I wail, I cry
[00:36.74] With broken voice and heart
[00:39.29] I demand a bargaining
[00:42.09] I offer all I have
[00:45.13] This blackened soul of mine
[00:52.20] That once was pure, unspoilt
[00:58.36] That once was fair
[01:05.79] Hear me now
[01:08.47] Open up your hinges
[01:12.00] Let me enter
[01:14.64] And receive my soul
[01:17.70] Let me lapse into the dusk
[01:20.61] Into soothing shadows
[01:23.99] Gladly I will step down
[01:26.41] Redeem the one I love
[01:30.22] On through the scalding nights
[01:33.40] The anguish and despair
[01:36.43] Against the gates of death
[01:39.35] I claw, I wilt, I starve
[01:42.60] It would be just and fair
[01:44.72] To let this old man fade away
[01:47.52] Accept this sacrifice
[01:50.85] This doomed soul of mine
[01:58.12] That once was pure, unspoilt
[02:02.76] That once was fair
[02:12.30] Hear me now
[02:15.00] Open up your hinges
[02:17.85] Let me enter
[02:20.39] And receive my soul
[02:24.09] Let me lapse into the dusk
[02:26.55] Into soothing shadows
[02:29.84] Gladly I will step down
[02:32.84] Redeem the one I love
[03:12.74] It would only be right
[03:17.54] To take this soul
[03:20.58] My offering
[03:23.94] It would only be fair
[03:28.61] To let my dearest live
[03:32.77] Still walk this earth
[04:00.42] It would only be right
[04:05.32] To take this soul (Take this soul)
[04:08.04] My offering
[04:11.86] It would only be fair
[04:16.77] To let my dearest live
[04:20.59] Still walk this earth (Still walk this earth)
[04:23.38]
