I am a lonely lamppost on a murky path

The wickedness in a morbid laugh

I am fear that sinks deep in the bone

That’s black as a raven and dead as stone

Darkness is my only home

and light will kill it all away

Death

You are a winding clock

That I can’t unlock

And you go tick tock,

into the night

Death

You are a sleepless day

Where I waste away

And I cannot stay

By your side

Death

You are the cold night air

And the hollow stare

of a maiden’s fair

ghost bride

Death

You are the darkest dream

Of a horrific scheme

To make me scream

As you bite

If they scattered me like ashes, all across the land

If they buried me like tooth and nail, and foot, and pallid hand

If they gave me stone to mark my life and my deathly day

And flowers flesh which rotted in a quick and voidless way

I’d be the only life of me, and only death of you

But then I’d have another life, to meet the dark anew

The Storm reaches out across the sky

As the shadows say goodbye to the light

The rain falls down into the sea

As I stand here waiting for you to rescue me

I’ll meet you on the spindly bridge

Where angels die for all our sins

And where the people go

Just to get away

From the lives they live almost every single day

As the storm reaches out, out across the sky

I’ll walk with you where angels fall

And people crawl upon their knees

Where every day

We fade away

From this disease

I’ll hold your hand

Into the land

Of burning trees

As the storm reaches out, out across the sky
