I gave you wings
You gave me death
I gave you life
And you were blessed

I gave you wings
You gave your love
The kingdom within
I'll let you in

I was left here alone
To be the tortured Sun
Doom-riven
Deprived of her song
Long ago

On this derelict path
Through cosmic night
I am the servant on the fields of sorrow
Now, I have no strength left within me
It was turned into tears
For the heavens to see

Hold it together
For one more winter

I gave you wings
Tears down my chest
My arms around you
Now you can rest

I gave you wings
A way to learn
So you can find me
When you return

Woe to them
Hypocrites! Murderers!
Brood of vipers

Veiled in false pretence
Whose virtue is but a cold offense
Seated high within their gilded places
Slithering deep inside archonic temples

You and I
We are the residues of light
And we took the sacrifice
Long ago

This derelict path
Through drizzling snow
The path to wisdom edged with thorns
Now, I have no ardour left within me
It was turned into tears
For the world to see

For one more winter
Hold it together!

You gave me wings
I gave you death
And took your sins
From your dying breath

I cannot save you
From this world
I wrap my arms around you
As darkness stir

If you perceive me, you perceive yourself
It is through my eyes that you see me
And see yourself
For if you approach me
It is because I have approached you
