Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stay with me awhile
Rise above the vile
Name my final rest
Poured into my chest
[Verse 2]
Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr
[Verse 3]
Pledge yourself to me
Never leave me be
Sweat breaks on my brow
Given time ends now
[Verse 4]
Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr
[Verse 5]
Spirit painted sin
Embers ‘neath my skin
Veiled in pale embrace
Reached and touched my face
[Verse 6]
Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead (Release your)
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr
