Malina

Your willing victim

But the crime we cannot know

You are the hope that ever turned to flight

I raise the cry that drifts across the burning fields

And rake the embers of your fading light

As I cry arise

I turn the dead to claim your prize

And though

I stare through

Come closer

I knew you

And though

I burn through

You know we were fragile after all

You kept no promise

With no safeguards ever asked

What summer's madness drew you back to us

I rock the cradle when the thought of you is gone

And warmest answers leave us cold enough

One for remembrance

And one for safe return

Their colours wilted in your blaze of light

One for forgiveness

And the spoils we cannot keep

We'll live again before you leave my side
