In twilight slumber rested death
Mourning for the loss of yesterday
My heart opens widely
Within my chest echos faith once more
Truer still the call of my name
It resonates down to the bone
In somber marrow through blood and sweat
It pierces intimately a callous facade
Standing forth upon a blackened gate
I call one last time "are you there"
Empty sorrows beget empty pleas
Standing now in silhouette lines
Crossing past the fade of light
Darkness consuming an empty heart
I await..
She whispers back..
"yes, I am.. my darling.."

In twilight slumber rested death
Mourning for the loss of yesterday
My heart opens widely
Within my chest echos faith once more
Truer still the call of my name
It resonates down to the bone
In somber marrow through blood and sweat
It pierces intimately a callous facade
Standing forth upon a blackened gate
I call one last time "are you there"
Empty sorrows beget empty pleas
Standing now in silhouette lines
Crossing past the fade of light
Darkness consuming an empty heart
I await..
She whispers back..
"yes, I am.. my darling.."
