Cathedral walls, de Swallow the Sun

Where do we go from here
When these words have been unspoken
We carry this burden through the gentle summer rain
The convoy is still, still and weaping
Yet I don’t feel anything, but these walls around

And the candles on cathedral walls
Chase the weak light under the saints eyes
Over you and your shattered words for the ones you lost
In your mourning you’re alone, so alone

This silence speaks a million words
Words of comfort so shallow
How I wish even for one tear
But for my heart it‘s too late
Where do I go when the sorrow turns to hate
Where do I go from here

The guardian angels quiet and near
Slowly turning away, for hell is surely here
Every step towards the hole in the ground I rot
Carrying your white coffin, my heart wide shut

I will follow you, earth to earth
I will follow you, ashes to ashes
I will follow you, dust to dust
I will follow you

How I wish even for one tear
But for my heart it’s too late
When sorrow turns to hate

And the candles on cathedral walls
Chase the weak light under the saints eyes
Over you and your shattered words for the ones you lost
In your mourning you’re alone, so alone
 

New moon, would you open the gates...

Ad nauseam: "These hours of despair"... de Swallow The Sun

I’m buried in the snow

As your blackened heart finally got frozen

No daylight in the horizon

Your warm and loving flames of wrath

Shall be my guiding light

Light has faded

As has the touch of your palms

No more songs of joy

Only dreadful silence

And painful memories

Was it my shadow

That eclipsed the sun in your heart?

Was the ice cold river

Your final relief?

Light, joy, hope, trust

All is lost

"These hours of despair

Pitch-black holes in my soul

All is lost

I can’t forgive myself

I will follow you"
