6. Incense and Myrrh (5:22)
I heard the angels cry in vain
I guess they knew it was time
Time for you to join them
The words are lost in silence
There's nothing they can do or say to will
Heaven awaits as eyes lie so very still
The hands of time could never fill
the void left so suddenly behind by you
Love lies bleeding
It's sad to know your diamond eyes,
they won't shine upon us anymore
Weeping willow, your name engraved
Though seasons change, it still remains
Eternal winter will not wane
through the cold November rain
I will watch over you
Incense and myrrh, silken red mahogany
Beautifully disfigured,
the scents of orchids fill the air
Incense and myrrh, a candle's flame unwavering
A choir of the angels, places of so high they sing
Tears rain down, down on me
Incense and myrrh, herein lies a mystery
A cradle filled with wonder
transcends to fatal tragedy
Incense and myrrh, a vacant room, a diary
Memoirs through the eyes of a child
and the keeper's broken promises of sanctuary
Shelter me, carry me, pray for me,
then will you scatter me
into the stained glass sky?
Halo of empathy, shine on me,
bleed for the inner child
Like the wild rose, it has wilted away
The candle fades as a part of me has died
Tears rain down, down on me
I guess they knew it was time
Time for you to join them
The words are lost in silence
There's nothing they can do or say to will
Heaven awaits as eyes lie so very still
The hands of time could never fill
the void left so suddenly behind by you
Love lies bleeding
It's sad to know your diamond eyes,
they won't shine upon us anymore
Weeping willow, your name engraved
Though seasons change, it still remains
Eternal winter will not wane
through the cold November rain
I will watch over you
Incense and myrrh, silken red mahogany
Beautifully disfigured,
the scents of orchids fill the air
Incense and myrrh, a candle's flame unwavering
A choir of the angels, places of so high they sing
Tears rain down, down on me
Incense and myrrh, herein lies a mystery
A cradle filled with wonder
transcends to fatal tragedy
Incense and myrrh, a vacant room, a diary
Memoirs through the eyes of a child
and the keeper's broken promises of sanctuary
Shelter me, carry me, pray for me,
then will you scatter me
into the stained glass sky?
Halo of empathy, shine on me,
bleed for the inner child
Like the wild rose, it has wilted away
The candle fades as a part of me has died
Tears rain down, down on me
