My Wilderness - Holy Esque

Son, wipe my tears and run

This cruelty’s won

My shadow came undone

And ate my soul alive

Until I weep and die

The feeling’s hard

I’m tired can’t you see

This wicked old disease

Consumes us all and hope

Will splinter to pain

We all end up the same

Smashed bones out in the rain

They crumble into ash

And pass with the last

Whispered goodbye — you gave to me

Hear it crawl

Suffering all

Bore it all

In death and life

Everything ends

Will angels fend?

Salvation sends

Your cold hands

My sorrow

Which holds my head tomorrow?

Don’t tell me

You’re dying

Now, those final days approach

Sudden, sharp and hold

Me in your loving arms

Until this tundra folds

And all my worries go

Like nothing in the sand

Give me your hand

Until you go

The spider crawls

Across my throat

Webs evolve

I choke and die

A poison laid

Her grip’ll fade

It’s too late

Your cold hands, my sorrow

Who remains tomorrow?

Don’t tell me

You’re dying

With a brutal crashing wave

Oh my eyes you cannot save

From the terror that I’ll bear

Will I scream in this nightmare?

Oh the unknown takes a tole

But the truth I’ll never know

If I’ll see your face again

Oh I know I won’t

Your hands fall

This sorrow

Will you breathe tomorrow?

Don’t tell me you’re dying

Heaven knows I’m trying

An escape, from heartbreak

Everything that it takes

Don’t tell me you’re dying

Heaven knows I’m crying
