Echoes Of a Dying Vow

The autumn wind, a mournful sigh
Carries the scent of your last goodbye
Each falling leaf, a crimson tear
Reflecting the silence of this past year
I walk the paths we used to tread
Through gardens of regret, my heart is lead

The moon, a cold and silver eye
Stares down upon this life I crucify
Oh, my love, what have I done?
Extinguished our eternal sun

This hollow ache, a constant, dull decree
I'm begging, pleading, on shattered knees
Let me drown within your arms once more
And wash this guilt upon your shore
Just one last time, to hear you breathe my name
And burn together in this sorrow's flame

The wine I drink, a bitter flood
Tastes only of misunderstood
Words I choked on, left unsaid
Now haunt the hollows of my empty bed
I see your face in every passing shade
A seraph's smile on a sinner's parade

This black, black heart, a rusted, broken thing
Only for you, it would attempt to sing
Oh, my love, what have I done?
Extinguished our eternal sun
This hollow ache, a constant, dull decree
I'm begging, pleading, on shattered knees
Let me drown within your arms once more

And wash this guilt upon your shore
Just one last time, to hear you breathe my name
And burn together in this sorrow's flame
I know, I know, I am the reason why
The verdant fields of our love had to die
A self-inflicted, slow and cruel disease

That brought this titan to his wretched knees
Oh, my love, what have I done?
Extinguished our eternal sun
This hollow ache, a constant, dull decree
I'm begging, pleading, on shattered knees

Let me drown within your arms once more
And wash this guilt upon your shore
Just one last time, to hear you breathe my name
And burn together in this sorrow's flame
In your arms, let me be
In your arms eternally
