Rises Ash, fades to grey Pigeons no longer rule this domain Swans may not be eternal My saving grace is just a pretty face BUT God forbids my soul waste away.
Withering and flaxen But under the sheer coat Lies a endless darkening day Souls that wasted away Locked and loathed Loved and Scorned scorned scorned
Bottomless depths of darkness they say Wasting away God forbids my soul die away
In the trenches and shot The death of the baby I live to see no life I live to die as wise
But I'll leave a key If your soul yearns You'll reach me Search the gravel Search the dirt
