Harvest

Stay with me a while

Rise above the vile

Name my final rest

Poured into my chest

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

Mourners lament

but it's me who's the martyr

Pledge yourself to me

Never leave me be

Sweat breaks on my brow

Given time ends now

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

Mourners lament

but it's me who's the martyr

Spirit painted sin

Embers neath my skin

Veiled in pale embrace

Reached and touched my face

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 grip

let me go into this sight)

Halo of death

all I see is departure

Mourners lament

but it's me who's the martyr
