I have wandered this road of woe
I have rested these old eyes upon the wonders
Watched the evils unfold from the ***** of darkness
And the goodness prevail although it never lasts long

Yet these rusted bones are starved of the warmth
The cold has frozen these joints into place
Left my heart in fragmented splinters that pierce my flesh
And leave my insides bruised and sore

This soul that has seen the lithe clouds of paradise
And felt the stinging wash of Hell's devouring seas of fire
Will wait no more for the fingertips that will rest it's warmth
And bring me back from this state of living dead

Reincarnate the parts of me that have long since found their earthy bed
And wake the memories that have faded from this feeble minded head
Set ablaze the fire that once burned inside my being
And vanquish the icicles that have made a home in my bones

Just love me
