lyrics

the way is hard though the path is clear
you could wander the desert forty years or near
and find there only barren land
where life leaves the body by the willing hand
you could walk through the valley of the shadow of death
where the grey air catches your icy breath
i'll find you here, make nature reverse
steal you out from under the frozen earth

the dark is pressing in somehow
life in death, i wonder now
and the whole world seems to beat like a heart
but i will finish what i couldn't start
i caught your body, your blood mingled with mine
that's a higher promise than a love divine
the whole world shakes at what we might do
well stay where you are cause i'm coming for you

such a fearsome barrier is the grave
i gave you my heart but your soul is mine to save

ten million shades of men who walked
the lands we stride and men who talked
the same way we speak, the same way i call
crying out to you, but i hear nothing at all
except the endless whispers of the restless dead
like the crystalline voices inside my head
they threaten to shatter and i close my eyes
just as i see a face i recognize

i grasp for the body i once knew
but your face is pale and my hands pass through
and i'm calling out but are you even here?
are you turning away from me out of fear?
love, was it all for nothing then?
or at least to see your face again
if your voice can remember, find something to say
do anything but turn away

if you ever had a thought for me at all
take my hand or at least answer my call

i am reaching out to you
i'm reaching
stop
stop
stop trying

whisper and go softly to sleep
