Above the entire world
Held onto the cliff of life by fingers

I climb toward an unreachable end
Toward an end with you

To feel the air of darkness swirl around us
To interlock fingers with an angel in night

But my heart is breaking down
Rocks crack beneath my fingers

A hand wrenched loosed
I've spun to face the night

Etched in darkness I see nothing
Yet I know what lies below

An entire world of agony
Pain so great I spent my life climbing away

Up into night I rose
Choosing to follow you taken by death

Cradled in his arms you left
He washed my tears from you

My hold begins to slip
Fingers start to break

I tumble through darkness
Falling away from you

Through clouds I pass
I see what should be my end

An eternity of pain bound to my shoulders
Drives me into dagger filled ground

My screams unheard
Tear through silent night

I rip myself from hells covered ground
But soon I must walk

Walk back to the cliff
Back to the climb

My broken wings will never fly
My forsaken soul will never die
