You can only keep me out for so long
For only I can hear your secret siren's song
The drought will wash away this life
In the buried moon, I will have my wife

For the lies can only dream of better truth
I cannot help myself from the days of my youth
I will tear through the time it took to come
From the years I stood silent and dumb

Do you know how many tears I cried for this
How I've longed to feel the sweet sacred bliss
Upon the altar, I will beg the moon to shine
For the fields to flow with pomegranate wine

I cannot bear the distance and the cost
For I can only remember what I've lost
To turn this death by the longest path
To burn my troubles in sacred ash.
