We are like mourners when they stand and cry
A gentle grief in the wind and rain
He asks death, but you shall rise
You shall return to this benighted sky

I plunge in flood and flame,
Suffer every shame and blame.
What ear would hear me if I cried?
What could I do to stem the tide?

Darkness pressed the shimmering veil
Through the black it starts to rend
I'm not called upon to be
The dark gift.

Your heart that cannot lie,
Your love is chained, your greedful soul
Love with us won't grieve no more,
New life will come as your tears will dry.

I plunge in flood and flame,
Suffer every shame and blame.
What ear would hear me if I cried?
What could I do to stem the tide?

Darkness pressed the shimmering veil,
Through the black it starts to rend.
I'm not drawn upon to be
The dark gift.

Hush my child and come along
Where the stars are velvet soft
Hush my child and come along
Where the stars are velvet soft

Darkness pressed the shimmering veil,
Through the black it starts to rend.
I'm not drawn upon to be

Darkness pressed the shimmering veil,
Through the black it starts to rend.
I'm not drawn upon to be
The dark gift.
