Aether

Unbroken gaze, infatuated with the nearing tribunal of penance
Fixating on the aether, looking for an answer
What if there's nothing beyond the endless seas
No abode of the blessed
A forgotten elysium
Where time stands still
We preach and pray for days beyond; the mortal coil is fading
The etheric realm lies frozen beneath my sinking feet

Are you whole?
Fading away with no light left to find

Can I pull the moon close
Can I draw the night out
Closer can I draw near nights asleep
Pull the moon close
Can I draw the night out
Please leave me in this dream, soundly adrift

My gaze breaks
Falling into the aether
A severed world of empty colours
A shattered veil
Bereft of all that's sacred (no more)
Incessant decay
In the gardens of time

Endless suffer, crises of faith
Devoid of serenity
Staring into your eyes

Your light is fading out
Slowly falling through the abyssal depth
And the only way out is through
Drifting away to a timeless place
I hope you find a way to make yourself whole again

As you fade away
Silently

Can I pull the moon close
Can I draw the night out
Closer can I draw near nights asleep
Pull the moon close
Can I draw the night out
Please leave me in this dream, soundly adrift

Like a whispering gasp for air
In these hallowed halls I'm waiting for heaven's embrace
