Since the dawn of our loss Death has consumed our hearts And the cold, searing winds Have ached and torn my broken soul Figures of memories and joy shown before my eyes As shadows cast by last sheds of light
As ancient as I Memories are all that I have And even they began to dim Into this never ending silence I see her ghost before my eyes Her eyes like stars, her ivory skin And the breath that died
Died before my eyes Before my cries I cannot rest I cannot sleep She took my sun She took my tears And gave me pain Hate, disgust and fear
In my emptiness I hear her voice again I see her face in the mist I smell her scent in wind I think that in my loneliness I have dwelled far too long To see such things, to hear such voices And to see faces in the mist
In day I feel Her passing presence Are you here too? Have you returned? This dawn wasn't brighter Than any of the past
I see the dawn, first one in centuries Light swallows me whole Pain is all I feel, but even that is a comfort Slowly as I let myself go Soon my sweetest we are together Married in Death
