The Carrying Light

When I fade away My sorrow will pierce the earth Like a wound inflicted upon these roots I'm a ghost Searching for a truth I may never find When I arise from this grave The light will be my solace I will scatter old ashes across this isolated land Where memories are lost I break free from these chains But I still walk this world alone I've painted the sunset my own shade of red Will I ever feel its warmth again 6. To Walk Amongst The Dead The stars fall asleep behind a tired sun Memories from another world grasp my dying spirit I see the faint glimmer of your face Take my hand Let me travel with you through twilight once again In my slumber I still hear your distant cries A cascade of embers fall from your weary eyes Your glow still brings me warmth and hope If you listen carefully You can hear the quiet sound of a better world I am the dead And the dead walk alone
