One Of The Departed

One narrow beam of light is choked with dust I watch as they fall away to nothing Like the hours in my days Just like the hours in my days The echo of our voices has diminished The clock has stilled Sorrow For all I can see is the ugliness and cruelty in the world Heart of my heart Soul of my soul You can't be One of the departed Forgive me I failed to keep you Where do you dwell? Where no living breath has been spent? Deliver me to this silent kingdom I wiped the dirt from your hands But they are still too pale They are still so cold The sadness of this lonely watcher Forever gazing At an endless night No star can pierce This one divide Just cant be bridged Heart of my heart Soul of my soul You can't be One of the departed Forgive me I failed to keep you Where do you dwell? Where no living breath has been spent? Deliver me to this silent kingdom Deliver me Deliver me Deliver me to this silent kingdom One narrow beam of light Is choked with dust I watch as they fall away to nothing To nothing Just like the hours in my days Just like the hours in my days In my days --- One of the Departed - Aetherial
