We Carry Our Dead Lyrics

One more time I'll cross the line
And step into the unknown

Spirit by my side, my light, my guide
Voices from the divide, the ghosts in my mind

So lay me low and let me be
The lost, the forgotten in faded white linen
Hold back tomorrow

Forever the greater of pains
The loss without gain
In fever we dream

In the night we are alright
Walking a path none would follow
As the serpent watches from shadow
The memory that stains our days
The misery that never fades

Baring the weight of ages in the service of sorrow

By degrees we regain
Taking back but then it's never the same
So move on down the road
Weary to the bone

One by one the colors fade into a gray insane
The fist once clenched now relents
The fire fades as I repent
As revelation shines bright
I'm terrified
