While We Mourn 2008 music and lyrics by Dan Robinson additional lyrics by Katie Bunting

wandering soul, my spirit broken
like frail bones, no moonlight shines
dark velvet skies descend upon me now
no strength to fight. all alone
give me, the courage to fail
to live without love, and die without hope
its so lonely here at the end of my world
This gleam brings no relief, biding my time.
I lament my defeat, and the wind whispers softly
in my ear, all life must cease, surrender your fear
As I sift through the ash, in silence this day
Mortally drained I wither and Frey
Give me the courage to die, to leave all I've loved behind
let all that i've lived be as a dream
give me the courage to die, let all I've lived be as a dream
Take me down
My heart is heavy with sin
Devour my pain
I rot within my skin
a king without his crown
take me down
Sleep be of your dreams, sleep while we mourn
fall, fall to your knees, pray for the dawn
We are here, biding time, all life must cease
Condemned to eternal, seasons of grey
I sift through the ashes in silence this day
forgotten by time and all mortal thought
A glutton for hope and a price I must pay
I sift through the ashes in silence this day, this day, of grey, this day
The pain of life, is not worth living
When I fall unto the night, the dirt will sing to me, its sweet lullaby
Gasping my last breath, I'm silenced by the chill, that stills my flesh
so I die.
