about

This was originally a b-side, but I actually really like this song. I think it deserves a second look, so I'm including it in the full bandcamp release this time as an album track. Its simple, but powerful.

lyrics

"Come with me," the Angel said,
And silently I followed
Over valleys long ago consumed
In Autumn's golden pyre

In delirious orbits,
We wandered between
The earth and sky-
My shade and my guide

"Let me ask you a question,"
The Angel said

"What would you give to be released
From your bonds?

Would you sell your soul to feel complete,
Or just to feel at all?

What if silence answered every plea,
While faith choked on disbelief,
And Darkness swallowed you whole?

What if noone's there to fill your needs,
Hands reaching out to grasp at Nothing,
As you fall?

What would you do if you knew
Heaven was a dream?
Would you be afraid to go to sleep?"

"Look to the stars," He said,
As the first of them appeared

"Though brilliant fires burning,
Far away, they'll bring you no warmth here.
To what do they attest, if not to the
Emptiness of all the rest?
Yet how their light will catch
And glisten in your tears.
Is the night that consumes their light
The fate that waits for you?"

"What would you give to be released
From your bonds?

Would you sell your soul to feel complete,
Or just to feel at all?

What if silence answered every plea,
While faith choked on disbelief,
And Darkness swallowed you whole?

What if noone's there to fill your needs,
Hands reaching out to grasp at Nothing,
As you fall?"
