First Father |
| Do you remember when I said |
| You’d never feel the sting of death? |
| But now I’m waiting where you left |
| Beside that snow-kissed clearing |
| I pressed a seed through that frozen fleece |
| The earth embraced you in the ground |
| No invention of my mind |
| Will ever compose a melody so profound |
| I’m a priest afraid to pray |
| Terrified at what the silence couldn’t say |
| Tongue tethered to the skeptic beating in my chest |
| We’re no longer quite ourselves |
| Nor reflections of someone else |
| Lover, do you feel that tension |
| As we drift between silence and eternity? |
| Death is the road, road to awe |
| I stood atop the world |
| Its asymmetry laid bare in front of me: |
| Thanatophobic societies taking life to mourn their tragedies |
| I feared this world would never change |
| But you steady your resolve anyway |
| Let’s set the pen against the sword |
| How orphans long for peace before they learn to love the war |
| Perhaps it’s our language |
| Perhaps we are incomplete |
| Words like shadows to what we see |
| Faint flickerings across the cavern in our minds |
| Candles in the dark |
| Defiant to the night |
| «You pulled me through time» |
| Through the edgeless night |
| I learned to love as you learned to die |
| I’ll begin to feel again and finish the chapter you couldn’t write |
| Candles in the dark |
| Defiant to the night, defiant to the shadow |
| You pull me through time, through the edgeless night |
| I learned to love as you learned to die |
