The Offering - Insomnium

On through the burning night

The fever and the fear

Against the gates of death

I pound, I wail, I cry

With broken voice and heart

I demand a bargaining

I offer all I have

This blackened soul of mine

That once was pure, unspoilt

That once was fair

Hear me now

Open up your hinges

Let me enter

Receive my soul

Let me lapse into the dusk

Into soothing shadows

Gladly I will step down

Redeem the one I love

On through the scalding nights

The anguish and despair

Against the gates of death

I claw, I wilt, I starve

It would be just and fair

To let this old man fade away

Accept this sacrifice

This doomed soul of mine

It would only be right

To take this soul

My offering

It would only be fair

To let my dearest live

Still walk this earth
