Death Speaks: No. 1. You Will Return Lyrics by David Lang

Death Speaks

0

You will return to dust
You will turn
Return to dust
Turn to the sun
Like me, turn to the sun
Turn to the light
Turn to the light
If thereʼs an eye still open
Grieving
Sweet sleep
Close it for me
Turn your heart, your poor heart
It will only find rest
When it has stopped beating
Turn to peace
Turn to peace
This is the only road that leads you home
Enter
I am your pale companion
I mirror your pain
I was your shadow
All those long nights, all those days long past
Listen to me
This message is for you
Where I am now, all sorrow is gone
Where I am now, all lovers are together
Where I am now
In my arms only will you find rest
Gentle rest
