Nightingale - The Wake lyrics

Come into my game of solitaire You could enter in and read me like a scrawl Adrift upon the tide and in the air I will let you see the dreamer through the wall I wish that we could pick the world apart I believe there is someone inside the pain Life is wasted here behind the veil I will never be free Can't you see that I've mourned again I watch the days they crash into the night All the secrecy the angels never came The fine line between what's yours and mine Is it mine alone the solitude of shame The whispered word and now you're on my side I am almost alive in your care my love I'll believe you when you set me free I'll believe you though you don't know who I am Take me through the darkness to the world beyond Will you wait for my arrival at the wake No one will remember me when I have gone And they'll never understand they're at the wake The fear of fire burning red and white Will my name remain carved inside a stone Your celestial son is born tonight To a waiting grave the dreamers have to go I see the signs of the veil up high I can feel you whenever you move on the wall I'll release you when you've turned the tide I'll release you and burn you away from my soul Someone here will never see the world outside I will never know who's waiting at the wake Someone here will never have to be alone You're the one who will remember at the wake I'll let the waters cleanse my eyes And follow the priest into the circular light I'll let you go when I have fallen And you don't know where you've arrived this time my love Curse believe me when I summon you There's another dream it beckons you to go Summer's waiting for you to be new I'll erase the dream now I go to sleep And I can feel forever cry for me this time You are not the only one here at the wake No one will remember what was once my crime And they'll never understand this is my wake
