Only You Lyrics

Only You

My heart breaks, bleeding to death
Shattered awake, nothing but breath
What are you now, new virgin snow?
You melt in my arms as I hold you close

Light explodes in my soul, fragments the whole
With distant eyes I sit and wait, closing the gate

The fire is out, warmth gone thereof
My wounds soothed by the stars above
Gold wine is drunk, dregs remain
Bitter as wormwood, salty as pain

God’s ears are filled with silence yet the call of the drum
Sounds in my chest, eternal rest, descend to hell

I’ll love him ‘til his thickened skin is torn to shreds
‘Til his last drop of blood is shorn
I’ll love him ‘til his dry bones fall apart
‘Til the ghost is satiated in his heart

In my fight to be alone I peer beneath his tombstone
In the crypt I behold a shadow in the air now growing cold
With my heat the cold now unites
Creates a mist so thick I have no sight
What can penetrate sadness so true?
Only You

Silence around, leaf falls to leaf
Through the trees, longing now creeps
Perceive yourself, perceive now God
All is dust – what more do you want?

Deep in the darkness in his face I found my place
What penetrates sadness so true?
Only you
