Gather round- dear friend and kin,
The day grows near- so close at hand,
A time of joy and love will reign,
Though nothing will go quite as planned.

Gather round and taste the wine,
The food piled high on tables set,
A time to laugh and sing along,
No pride to guard and no regret.

Gather round- dear special few,
The coals grow cold but not our hearts,
A time to share the glories past,
And dodge the rain that shortly starts.

Gather round for soon you'll go,
The day grows short and cold somehow,
A time to plan the next event,
And keep this moment here and now.

Step into this place of shame,
Pray your heart remains the same,
Lead the way through this dark game,
Leave the place that has no name.

Step into this void of pain,
Drench yourself in crimson rain,
Wash away this mortal stain,
Leave me here alone again.

Step out of this cloud of hate,
Hide yourself in tears of fate,
Walk the path from Heaven's gate,
Leave before it is too late.

Step out of this lofty place,
Feel the cold and open space,
Back amongst the human race,
Leave your soul to Heaven's grace.

Spread your wings and feed my soul,
Make my day and share this night,
Stay with me and make this right,
I'll be yours- forever true.

Fly to me and hold my heart,
Make me yours and bring me light,
Stay by me and ease my fright,
I'll be here awaiting you.

Soar with me and feel my love,
Make this real and give me flight,
Stay right here and share this sight,
I'll be yours- please be mine too?

Tell me what it is to see,
all that I wish that I could be,
more than my own short history,
all that is in my destiny.

Show me what it is to feel,
what I think can never heal,
more than I want to reveal,
all that which is far too real,

Give me what I need to learn,
all that for which I still yearn,
more than time can take in turn,
all that can stop my crash and burn,

Take me where I want to go,
far from all this to and fro,
more than my eyes can dare to show,
all that my soul can bear to know.

Lost in the music,
Lost in the feeling,
Lost on the path and finding no meaning,

Show me a sign,
Show me a light,
Show me a way with the ending in sight.

Gone from this place,
Gone from these lands,
Gone from the pain and the blood on my hands,

Safe in the memory,
Safe now it seems,
Safe from myself in the world of my dreams.

Play me a tune and sing me a song,
Help me to learn so I can sing along,

Tell me a story that I can believe,
Something to comfort each time that you leave,

Show me the magic in all that we do,
Keep my heart safe and forever with you,

Take me out into the world that you know,
hold me and love me so that I can grow.

This is the moment,
This is the end,
This is the break that we never will mend.

This is the minute,
This is the time,
This is the dream that will end in a crime.

This is the morning,
This is the way,
This is the god that will rule us today.
