lyrics

Dark and brooding his body was dense,
his body was filled with a great sadness,
like the sky when it's about to rain.

Head heavy he was tired all the time,
lost his voice a weakened whine,
doubled over in pain,
His eyes fell down his movement stopped,
Head was spinning, dark more often than not.
began to weep and moan.

Body shaking another one of his fits
getting harder the older he gets
Feeling suddenly alone.

Take me now, let me go, let me fly
So I'll know the greatest love the greatest light.

Wide eyed and grinning she would finally fall
all was lost as she gave her all
as she let go of the shame
of all the things she had failed to get done
of all the wars she had fought and won
she forgot her name

In the night she called to St. John
she cried for mercy, asked, what have I done?
Show me the light of day.

Covered in ash all her lives were lost,
said, I'll follow no matter the cost,
still, she felt thrown away.

CHORUS

So as I've moving on down the road
Secret locked can't decipher the code
Still looking for a key

Remember mother her sweet caress
taste the bitter upon the breast
cry passionately

CHORUS

Take me now, let me fly, so I'll know the greatest love, the greatest light
