I gave you wings You gave me death I gave you life And you were blessed
I gave you wings You gave your love The kingdom within I'll let you in
I was left here alone To be the tortured Sun Doom-riven Deprived of her song Long ago
On this derelict path Through cosmic night I am the servant on the fields of sorrow Now, I have no strength left within me It was turned into tears For the heavens to see
Hold it together For one more winter
I gave you wings Tears down my chest My arms around you Now you can rest
I gave you wings A way to learn So you can find me When you return
Woe to them Hypocrites! Murderers! Brood of vipers
Veiled in false pretence Whose virtue is but a cold offense Seated high within their gilded places Slithering deep inside archonic temples
You and I We are the residues of light And we took the sacrifice Long ago
This derelict path Through drizzling snow The path to wisdom edged with thorns Now, I have no ardour left within me It was turned into tears For the world to see
For one more winter Hold it together!
You gave me wings I gave you death And took your sins From your dying breath
I cannot save you From this world I wrap my arms around you As darkness stir
If you perceive me, you perceive yourself It is through my eyes that you see me And see yourself For if you approach me It is because I have approached you
