lyrics

Would you dare come searching for me
In the wake of this affliction

Not one bargain nor resolution
Can sate these impish adversaries
Who test my kindness
And try my patience
Toying with my conviction

That aside, I'd expect nothing more
Than to carry this weight alone

At the gates of Cernunnos
I stand accompanied by none
But this solitude and the fantasy
of your hand in mine

For the time being, I dismiss these unattainable wishes
Despite all rapture brought
From such mutual courtship

Alas, this storm of sorrow
Is siphoned by the sway
the dance of the pine
Beckons me, lures me past this great divide on which I stand

Now without any hesitation
I tear away the tendrils
Grasping at my thoughts and heart
And seek return to my temple
Of emerald and oak

Resonating compassion that
Liberates this aching
Heeding to the whispers of the auras
Wandering for hours on end

My locks met with icy wind
As cold as your absent caress
Slowly now do I give way
And settle in the embrace of the earth.

I contemplate these testaments of unwavering devotion
Echoing in my conscience
An evanescent muse
A prayer I utter unto this heathenous cathedral
Of sky fading to dusk
Of looming pine and oak

Send unto me in due time
An undeniable sign
That what I hold dear shan't whither
This passion I have nurtured so must bloom again

I entertain the warm thought of traversing this wood
With you by my side
We'd rest beneath the shade and let the hours fly by
You'd adore it just as I

So in isolation, I but dwell upon those nights long past
I cherished the sincerity

Surrounded by your warmth, empowered by this seemingly-destined bond
A spiralling dance of souls in unity

Perhaps if I drift away in these oaken arms I'd wake in yours
Or vanish to obscurity

Until you, my beloved, appear to me again
I decay in silence
As my heart rests in the clutches of none
...

Let me fade away
And forfeit this anchorage

All I await
Is severance from this wicked longing

Hidden neath these veils of sage
Knowing I shant feel your arms around me

May the dusk come lay it's shroud
Lulled into the deepest slumber long into the night.
