shadows

 
your beating heart speaks to me
with talk of an immortal love
a melody of all time

lilting in the darkness
a beautiful soul so enamored
I reach for you in toil and damnation

seeking your soul to bring me from the edge
tiny little redeemer
looking at you with large hopeful eyes

brimming over with tears
I will not relent your love is eternal
and our souls have become one
wild inclination without I have nothing

blushing nervously I doubt myself
will you lead the way from this sorrow
unique of faith you shine

I am drawn to your flame
it burns so brightly
in the dark so great

your piercing refrain
enticing me from the deep
a hand extended relieves my fears

you caress my soul and give it life
I look to you to still my trembling frame
forlorn in the shadows

they encroach you step forward
and they retreat
brittle belief my faith lacks

earnest heart will you breathe into me
remembering my name
your artist's eye sees something special in me

so cold is the dark
and it needs no introduction
please is it your will I should go free
