Pyre

Our eyes refuse to rest

And show no sign of closing

The longest night is met

With breaking light (approaching)

We tread grounds that hold our weight But seeds of dread are flowering Can our will survive?

Or will the fire below devour it

Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre

(But will you join me in the fall?)

And I can tell that you're losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre

Behind these eyes I know

The love they bear is torn with heartache Will the world forget my name

And all I've done be erased?

Replaced?

Prise my eyes awake

Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre

And I can tell that you're losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre

Hold me close

Don't ever let me lose

The thing I love the most

Let die the embers
