Brightwing

Look into me, count what I’ve lost
Broken wings, weary with grief
The sum of all our costs
Broken wings with no light to cling to
Floating toward a ray of hope
Only this nocturnal lens to dream through
I found you in the dark
Nocturnal drift of a black heart
Filled with the blazing light
Burning bright, yet you always hide
Shine on me
In the warmth of the sunlight
Shine on me
Dare to leave the night
Force my rest, sleep under dust
Can I repair these wings?
Close the gaps that sting?
Should I prepare my tomb?
Is that enough for you?
Kiss the fire, the glowing coal against my lips
Let a dead man earn his rest
Sleep under the dust
You love to see me burn
Broken wings with no light to cling to
A moth in a world of butterflies
Floating toward a ray of hope
These hands have more to prove
I found you in the dark
Nocturnal drift of a black heart
Filled with the blazing light
Burning bright, yet you always hide
I found you in the dark
Shine on me
You love to see me burn
Shine on me
Sleep under dust
