We built our towers of safety so high,
now Hope is gone
to mourn alone in the silence
Now our hearts are growing harder as
the warmth of her bed is fading
Since she has left us all
My last notes, they echo on empty walls
I wonder, have you left me to the birds of prey?
I'm hearing wings in the clouds,
but still no sign of a coming rescue
from the weight of the night
Are you out there?
I search the silence
for the sound of her heart
still beating, beating still
My last notes, they echo on empty walls
I wonder, have you left me to the birds of prey?
And in the quiet I look to the sky,
no sign of a coming rescue
from the weight of the night
If I gave you all that was left,
would you break my heart again?
God, I've made this such a mess,
and I can't let go of it
If I gave you all that was left,
would you make me whole again?
God, this world is such a mess,
and I am through with it...
