They have slain the life
who lit my eyes alight.
They have slain the sky,
in all colourful starlight.
They have slain my flame,
leaving dead coals unbright.
And they have slain
all my feeling.
My moon, my sun,
all is dead and gone.
And they have slain
the mercy inside me.
I will break the stars
to bring back what was
ours.
Now I have slain,
and as you wait for me,
in the skies beyond the sea,
know you were my mercy.

They have slain the life
who lit my eyes alight.
They have slain the sky,
in all colourful starlight.
They have slain my flame,
leaving dead coals unbright.
And they have slain
all my feeling.
My moon, my sun,
all is dead and gone.
And they have slain
the mercy inside me.
I will break the stars
to bring back what was
ours.
Now I have slain,
and as you wait for me,
in the skies beyond the sea,
know you were my mercy.
