Assimilation Lyrics

(Colors bleed outside lines)
(Moments are frozen in time)
(Distant horizons, drawing near)
(Distant horizons, drawing so near...)

The white veil and the orchid petals
The lakeside fire and the crying child
The last glimpse of his back in the doorway
The smoking gun and the spray of blood

I’ve seen them all, a hundred times if a dozen times
Cycling through my mind
A neverending cinematic nightmare
Out of control

There is no life in this tension
My only hope is resolution
But this time will be different
I will be the curator of all you have seen...

I am your house of memories, all that is left when you fade away
I am your hope of legacy, keeping you safe from total eclipse

So drink your scarlet wine
And do not be afraid
Sleep all through the night
I will stay awake

Color bleeds outside the lines
Moments are frozen in time
Distant horizons draw near
What you have lost I will find
Fragments of spirit align
Mother, depart without fear
Rest in this promise divine
What you have lost is now mine
