Ashengrace Lament Lyrics

Lament Lyrics

this darkening winter blows across my aching heart

my strength is ebbing,
my soul is coming further and further apart

I've never seen a drier
season, never known such burning heat

and just beyond the door, the
constant reminders of defeat



I sometimes don't want to believe
that all we were has come to this

all my hopes, all your promises so
easily dismissed

you hear what you want to hear and see what you want to
see

and all these things are all you want and none of them are me



this feeling is fading, this promise lied, this soul has nothing to
feel inside

these friends forget, these stars will fall, these words mean
nothing to you at all

this child is abandoned, this dark burns clear, the
one who believed in me disappears

this love is over, this endless dread
is all I have left to feel instead



oh, it grows upon you like a
raven perched above your door

it meets you face to face but always leaves
you face down on the floor

never summon what you cannot dismiss it goes on
with every kiss

like shadows of all that came before it stays with you
forevermore
