Stay with me awhile
Rise above the vile 
Lay my final rest
Poured into my chest

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 

Pledge yourself to me
Never leave me be
Sweat breaks on my brow
Given time ends now

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 

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 
(Release your grip, let me go, into the night)
Halo of death, All I see is departure 
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr
