Promises made long ago Set fire to the earth below We watched these buildings burn Ashes mixed with the bricks in the snow
But our winter falters These frostbitten daughters of ice Are now too thin to walk
Memories made long ago Remind me of your undertow A sea of trees is ablaze White horses racing to carry me home Where nothing is tender The soured surrender The ice too thin for us to walk
I made your pearls Saturn's diamond I strung the current round my neck Fingers of ice dragging me under Drowned by the memories of your touch
Some wounds just never heal A million more can't bring you home I'd sell my soul to dress your bones For without you I'm alone On these feet your vines will grow
Burning eyes that glow Burning eyes that glow Burning eyes that glow Burning eyes that glow Oh you
