In Holy Violence

lyrics

Hands blue from a cold world,
Longing for the warmth of your fire,
Flesh bringing life to the wild subdued,
Quenched and contained in holy violence,

Embers covet the fuel to burn,
Before giving way to frigid ash,
Before surrender and after which conclude,
In one last act in whole defiance,

And I will not let you go.
And I cannot let you.

Today is the last one,
Yesterday means nothing and tomorrow never comes,
Matters to attend to tend not to matter at all,
The beating of my heart subsides to the beating of the drum,

Today is the last one,
Before giving way to frigid ash,
Flesh surrendered to the wild subdued,
In one last act in whole compliance,

I see in your eyes,
This is the last time,
Soon memory will be the only space I occupy,
