A quiet whisper beckoning my bones
And I’m already afraid, never been this far from home
All I wanted was to keep a piece of you
Now I’m choking on my words and everything I can’t undo
Chorus 1
Cherish nothing, forged by flame and suffering
Wrought of God, wrath of man, sealed my fate with sleight of hand
Simmering solitude, nothing but particles passing through
The emptiness we resurrect
Verse 2
Perish in the pyres every passing night
Embrace the flame, embrace the flame
Blooming through the embers, pillars born of light
Illuminate, Illuminate
Chorus 2
Banished, hopeless, heartfelt empty promise
Coalesce, the slow collapse, parallel future parallel past
Twist of the tongue, turn of the key, the ghost in the dark sank its teeth into me
‘Til there was nothing left, yeah there was nothing left…
There was nothing left, there was nothing left, there was nothing left…
Yeah there was nothing left, there was nothing left,
There was nothing, nothing, nothing…
Chorus 3
Shimmering shadows, from the crest of the sun to the gallows
Flesh and form, skin and bone, scattering ashes, casting stones
Searching for solace, sifting the soil the seed and the corpus
For fragments of faith, the ember embraced, a splinter of grace
And there was nothing left…
There was nothing left, there was nothing left, there was nothing left…
Yeah there was nothing left, there was nothing left,
There was nothing, nothing, nothing…
