Ryan Dawson - Sorrowmancer Lyrics

You were there when the waters
Rushed in on me
Raven-haired and denying
Ophidian sweet
In the aftermath, curling
Like smoke. You were there
I saw purple-chipped claws

Noon left burning to evendim
Rain-gloomy, soft
As a petal of ransom
And violent hope
And the depths spit their heart out
Into your hands again
I crawled out of my skin

I believe in forever
And the light of the world
Time, the scythe which dissevers our lives
Dreams, the haunts of my monsters
Hate-twisted needs
You're the wind
And I am the reed
Sorrowmancer

Spare the skies your sidereal
Suicide fall
From the god-hanging rafters
A waste of a pall
Laugh the songs of your fathers
Sigh them to sleep at last
Mad hatters, all

In the crush of November
I saw you again
Bright as dawn over bridges
And washed in the rain
Come to drown me in heaven
The glass seas of
Paradise
Who am I without pain?

I believe in forever
And the light of the world
Time, the scythe which dissevers our lives
Dreams, the haunts of my monsters
Hate-twisted needs
You're the wind
And I am the reed
Sorrowmancer

Hope can't arise when it's trapped in your eyes
Gleaming pristine like the edge of a knife
Twisting through hearts left to bleed in the dark
Love like the havoc of sparks

I believe in forever
And the light of the world
Time, the scythe which dissevers our lives
Dreams, the haunts of my monsters
Hate-twisted needs
You're the wind
And I am the reed
Sorrowmancer
