Anna, you're lost in a shadow there
 
 Cinder and smoke hanging in the air
 
 Oh, and I know you'll be bolder than me
 
 I was high, I was unaware
 
  
  God above saw, ever in the mind
 
 Blue and white irises in a line
 
 Under your nameless shame
 
 I left you in frame, and you rose to be ossified
  
 
 As a rose of the ocean side
 
 Too long to the light of the morning
 
 So unseen, as light in a dream
 
 Too long now to the rising
 
 Too long now to the rising
  
 
 Can you be slow for a little while?
 
 Widow your soul for another mile?
 
 I'm just the same as when you saw me back then
 
 And we're bound to be reconciled
 
 And we're bound to be reconciled
  
 
 Too long swinging the knife
 
 All will wash over you in a night so unending
 
 Not long now to the rising
 
 Not long now to the rising
  
 
 Anna, you're lost in the shadow there
 
 Cinder and smoke hanging in the air
 
 Oh, and I know you'll be bolder than me
 
 I was high, I was unaware
