Pyre

Our eyes refuse to rest 
And show no sign of closing 
The longest night is met 
With breaking light (approaching) 
We tread grounds that hold our weight But seeds of dread are flowering Can our will survive? 
Or will the fire below devour it 
Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre 
(But will you join me in the fall?) 
And I can tell that you're losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre 
Behind these eyes I know 
The love they bear is torn with heartache Will the world forget my name 
And all I've done be erased? 
Replaced? 
Prise my eyes awake 
Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre 
And I can tell that you're losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre 
Hold me close  
Don't ever let me lose 
The thing I love the most 
Let die the embers
