Burn with me if you must

Let ashes mark the story's path

Insoluble minerals trace the obdurate line

The telling black web of vanity

One final fitful epitaph

We knew eachother far too well

To dwell in the deceit of time

We knew that time would etch the painful story

Already written on out hearts

All that was new was clarity

Carry me in darkness to the edge

Show me the invisible abyss

I will float in the terror of destiny

Break the heart to me gently

Burn like the evidence

Days end in funerial precision

Night sinks into unleavened dawn

Hidden in the darkness

The fading vision of forgetfulness

Closer to your heart than hope

So long I had forgotten

You have hidden in dark eyes

Trade the dark future for the warm glow of the past

Lose the key that fits the lock

Nurture the dark in the attic

Remove the hands from the clock

Broken things are always placed beyond sight

Cold starlight shows their form and hides the flaws

You and I are doomed to know eachother

Through the distance of the dark

We shatter on arrival
