A face in the night

Bright but displaced

Dissident mirror behold

The traveler astray

Hold out the light so long to

Brace coming day

A whisper of echoes pleading

I hear what you say

As cold rivers run

To wash away flame

The currents of time won't let up

For all dams should break

So loved to be all wrong

Though fate can't be changed

Thus, onward the wretched hearts breed

To bring morning's bane

I know the afterimage bleeding through

Be the last transmission, painful in its truth

And all fades in time

Here at the edge of living

Stand at the gates, how hard you've fought

A soul cased in glass, no stones to throw

This is the way you'll let go
