Words like silk spill from your mouth
In these shadowed memories
Flickering on the walls of this empty chasm
The sepulchre that is my heart
Yet the inevitable hands of time
Tear that silk to shreds
'Til all that was fine
Twists into emptiness and dread
And ash in your palm
Caught up in foolery are the weak
And so create a future bleak
Unable to withstand the wait
Twisting their own fate
Her hands spin and turn
Weaving throughout time
Singed by fire we burn
Again the stars align
And so we turn...
To ash
Sail upon the wind
Gaze upon the past
Realize how you sinned
