Lanterns Lyrics by Ethereal Shroud

Trisagion

0

What answer do you have in sorrow's wake
But to abandon all beheldest dear?
Time ever longer in the coldest night
Withdrawn behind my mind's enclosure
It is kinder to accept one's nature
Than to inflict unto others your poisons
It is kinder to be destitute
Without a light to carry through the fog
If I held up a light, you would see me unravel before your eyes
Embittered and distanced, embers barely holding the glow
To tremble at thе thought of one more day
Distant lanterns glow in thе mist
Their warmth all but alien to my skin
Longing fingers grasp at the golden glow
But are soon pulled in from the burning heat
Back to a chest as cold as a shadow
Its familiarity a comfort as well as defeat
Take what is lost, gather what's left astray
Husk of a beating heart, clinging to a namesake
Still are the waters that flow throw the veins
Waiting for the warmth of a fire I keep far away
Lucidity grants me with the certainty that this will pass
But oh, so distant is the hour
And far beyond reaching is the world I have undone
This empty path bears not the answers that I seek
There is no solace here
There is no solace here
Your distant warmth will return to me
As soon as I let you in
When the darkness lays down arms
Bring light
For mine wanes before the day
