Falling asleep in the snow
Warm in the this winter's coat
Swaddle surrender and
Cover me in white
Falling away in the drift
Cold sleet on freezing lids
Peace be to sorrow
And lay my body down
In the half light
Almost pure
All white in the earth
You'll waltz bright
Sway drifting down
Dance on soon hallowed ground
Just give up your tired eyes
Falling asleep in the snow
Warm in the this winter's coat
Swaddle surrender and
Cover me in white
Falling away in the drift
Cold sleet on freezing lids
Peace be to sorrow
And lay my body down
Please give me something to hold onto amidst this rushing water's tide
Consecrate a memory and free yourself in ice
My own teacher my protector see you crumble see you fall
See your sunken shoulders crawling to me naked baring all
And it's a memory I wouldn't dare to let die
Heavy weight too great to wait for coming warming skies
See you begging my forgiveness for this weakness ringing out
The same weakness I will love and hate and promise to shut out
Hold me close to the light I want the calm of the night
Envelop me in rolling hills of soft descending white
Please just swaddle me in peaceful dreams until the morning comes
I am running with the life of my father's father's half light blood
Blood run
Beating still
An ancient rill
Run into rivers bright
Freedom must
Return to dust
Pray you remember dusk
Freedom when
Oh you'll sing again
Just lay down your tired eyes
Peace be found
In blessed ground
Oh save the son of seth
Oh god inhale your breath
And reclaim the life
From your lips I drew mine
Oh god inhale your breath
Oh god inhale your breath
