And Still Remain

Angels of mercy descending To cover my eyes with a prayer Breaking from earth and ascending To fly on the winds ever fair Consumed by the fire, Driven by the rain Until I weather the storms of the Erie And still remain Madness is coming upon us Cracking the wood and the beam Ragged and old is the canvass Tearing apart at the seams Headlong in the blackness Through hell and deep water the same Until I weather the storms of the Erie And still remain Leave me alone in the darkness No sleep, no reward, no one saved Give up the ghost and the fortress No purpose disturbing their graves There is nothing beyond here And there is nothing that is sane Until I weather the storms of the Erie And still remain
