The Offering

The sun falls, turning everything to silhouettes The trees become the rafters Holding up the sky Cold starlight gleaming through, and my eyes are open wide A cathedral rises from the very night itself And I fall onto my knees I lie my head down at the alter, offering Take what you want from me Take everything Drown any air of segregation All are composed of the decomposed I return renewed That which has been borrowed from you Drown any air of segregation All are of the decomposed Break me down to elemental states A fate from which there's no escape No joy and yet there is no hate Every facet of me blown-away Like ashes in the wind Drown any air of segregation All are composed of the decomposed Embrace me now Let me rot into the ground I'll become soil And I will enter your mouth I'll nourish your roots So you can continue to live I'll die right here With nothing left for me to give I'll die right here With nothing left for me to give
