Forgive me, for I have failed to see
The growing darkness inside of me
I've watched, I've waited, I've fallen prey
To the silent whispers that chase the day
My brother, my keeper, my mirror's face
Weeps for the soul it has misplaced
Her eyes, her smile, her every breath
Scours my dreams till there's nothing left
But the pain and sorrow of the life let slip
Into the snares of this world adrift.
Fear me, for I have seen his tears,
and the hand that hovers on the end of years.
Fear me, for I have heard his cries
As the world he loves whithers and dies.
I know now there's nothing left of fate,
And the ascent of angels has come too late.
