lyrics

Ascension

My bloody fingerprints
On her snow white wings
My weakened grip
Can’t preclude her ascension

Two hands of feathers
Is all what’s left from her
For me to
remember
A dozen black swans
Sacrificed for an immortal flight
A pair of darkened wings
For me to redeem her

A last prayer
to the sun
My love
for you I come

One step from the cliff’s edge
As I’m taken to the sky
Closer to the burning heat
The feathers melt one by one
Falling faster to the ground
My love for you I come

Oh god why has thee forsaken me
You took my life and now you take me
I curse thee with every breath
I damn you bringer of dead

My love, take my hand
We will leave this Promised Land
It is not for us, this false god
Our fingers lightly touched
Before she let them slip away
A silent last farewell

Abandoned to heavens edge
As I’m falling from the sky
Closer to the burning heat
My limbs melt one by one
Falling faster under ground
Away my love, remember me

Oh god I have forsaken thee
You took my life, you won’t take me
I welcome the bearer of light
The heavens fall, my last flight
