The Everlasting Lyrics

Breathe

 A faceless one roams for my soul

 The air is dense behind me

 It follows, brooding, a presence that clamours for

 And strikes at my soul

 Shadows slant, the darkness clings and coiled

 Hiding in corners it conjures none but fear

 Yet my muted children testify, the everlasting

 Not a sound to my ears yet my spirit is defeated

 By cacophonous chatter

 It follows and strikes at my soul

 It follows

 Give me silence

 Why can I never rest from this aloof pursuer?

 Please give me my peace

 A wavering shadow

 I wake to find it looming

 Touched but never held

 Its hand stops my breath

 I am mourning, my eyes are stained

 I feel his sacred tears upon me

 His sobs strike against my heart

 The faceless, haunts me

 Scared but perfect and beautiful

 I see the face of...

 Lashed with my every burden

 The air is dense before me

 I cannot deny

 But can I embrace?
