MY SILENT WAKE LYRICS

1. I Am (Eternity)

[M Bowes]

Stretch out your hands and touch me

I am yesterday
I am time
I am eternity

Hold out your hope
Release me

I am feeling
I am light
I am eternity

I am greater than self
Come find me
I'm weary of sin, so help me
I'm the dancer to the dance of life
I live on bread and blood red wine

2. Bleak Endless Winter

Bleak endless winter
Curse this cold
Never ending night of misery

You are silent
Will you save me in the end?

Nobody can carry your burden
Bowed low in the grip of disease
Crestfallen, forsaken
Please take this bitter cup from me

Soul wasting sorrow
Broken again
I close my eyes, let it wash over me

Lost in darkness
Will you save us once again?

Futile listless cries
A slow demise
All is wasted

Stone cold faces
Look away
Far below them, slowly we creep

Sometimes this feels like there's nothing left
You failed the test is this punishment?
They twisted your words to condemn us
Was it ever the way they were meant

They fall silent
As they turn
From the helpless, from the weak

As they turn from the weak

3. Devoid Of Light

[Lyrics: J Moore. Music: M Hitchen & J Hodges]

Who knows what we tell the dark
When shadows close around blotting, out.
Our only light our only hope
Do you long, to be more than this
This life deludes between the days.
Await release without hope again and again.
In the Darkness shadows in mourning.
Realms of silence lead the night.
I am nobody's child, a ragged creature
Impoverished at your behest in my silence
When there's no warmth left in the sun.
As the days draw by when we hide.
In the world in the darkness,
Shadows mourning, lead the night.
Here where I hide without your compassion
In a world devoid of warmth,
In a world devoid of light
Is the face that deludes my perfection
Or my perversion continually turning,
Towards the sky over and over again and again

4. Rebirth

[Lyrics: K Hamilton. Music: K. Hamilton & I Arkley]

Cast down your eyes to the shameful ground
The shattered Earth foretells a devastated land
Shelter from the rain that clouds the darkening sky
The ones who love their ignorance shall lead us all to die

We saw the falling of the Sun
The light has gone, the greatest deed has been done
The moon will rise, the dusk will veil my face
This is the end of the longest of days

We will fall,
We will rise
We will rise,
We will fall
Condemn the Earth,
The story of
Our own demise.
A fatal flaw

The new dawn appearing
Appalling and vivid
This cannot be the land of the living

For we have become the stories we told
Now we shall weep for the lives that we sold

Taking it all, the thieves of the mind
Denying, forgetting the souls left behind

Sweet tears of remorse fall and gather in vain
Bitter consummation with the ever vengeful rain

The inertia is growing, engulfing the sky
Betrayal of many unready to die

A voyage of honour, misplaced sanctity
The pilgrims have poisoned the world of the free

The civilisation that learned how to lie
Preparing to make the last sacrifice

Praying to wake, and waking to pray
This is the end of the longest of days

Tear down the walls and strengthen the Earth
After the winter the time of rebirth
Tear down the walls and strengthen the Earth
After the winter the time of rebirth
Tear down the walls and strengthen the Earth
After the winter the time of rebirth

Gone is the power in which we entrusted
Through lies and deception the good were corrupted

Herald the dawn of the longest of days
Farewell to the fortunate, laid in their graves

Tear down the walls then and strengthen the Earth
After the winter the time of rebirth
