Embracing the Night

These endless nights, starlight stark and cold
In my hands I hold, a torn and broken soul
For the time that we stole, love’s light fading away
And the dreams that we shared, all seem in vain
When all is lost in the dark
Reaching for you, drifting farther and farther from me
I can taste your tears, falling like the rain
Can I keep you here? Captured safe in my arms
Will you come back to me, forsaking everything?
The darkness will find us
Drowning out the light
Our fears they will blind us
Making the pain seem alright
Leave our souls behind us
Together (forever) embracing the night
Nothing will guide us, no one can save us now
Calling in the silence, can you hear me, my love?
Seeking salvation, falling so far from grace,
Crossing to our Final Rest, my Beloved
All is lost to the dark
Walking in the twilight, my hands caressing your face
Silently crying, my sweet angel fallen from grace
Nothing to fear my love, follow me into the night,
Making all the wrongs seem right
Forever lost in the dark.
