Harvest

Stay with me awhile Rise above the vile Name my final rest Poured into my chest Pledge yourself to me Never leave me be Sweat breaks on my brow Given time ends now Spirit painted sin Embers neath my skin Veiled in pale embrace Reached and touched my face Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead Halo of death, all I see is departure Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr
