Across the Fade -

As you drag your fingers down my spine

A burn still frozen on my skin

The ashen trace you left behind

Is taken by the wind

By the wind!

Down, draped in disbelief

Weak, shattered by defeat

So I knelt and the sky turned black

As I felt the walls inside begin to crack

Lost, to never awaken

Distant memory on this road I’ve taken

Unknown dialect, one can’t correct

Yet no replacement for what you kept

To your dismay, I weathered it all

Across the fade, I hear your call

You can’t disgrace, one stood so tall

Across the fade, on knees I crawl

Found, the cage that kept me «free»

I’ll tear it down, I’ve found my peace

Turn from gaze, guilty haze

All I pray, end of days

When the blade switches and it’s your time

When the hate that bleeds you, leaves your lungs deprived

Life to gain, living sin

Anchors, chains, sink or swim

To your dismay, I weathered it all

Across the fade, I hear your call

You can’t disgrace, one stood so tall

Across the fade

To your dismay, I weathered it all

Across the fade, I hear your call

You can’t disgrace, one stood so tall

Across the fade, on knees I crawl
