Wash Me All Away

How could you think you'd change nothing of me
A gift of this curse, so deadly and sweet
Cleanse me, absolve me
I beg from my knees to on high
I raise my fist to defy
Fear me, oh forgive me
A burden of life in my hands
Their blood now dust in the sand

Alone I stand above the ocean
Alone I walk the tides of darkness
A thousand tears can fill my rivers
To wash me all away

My eyes alone they sweep the darkening sky
My voice alone it joins the rising wind
A lonely song to fall on deaf ears
It was not always so

How could you think it meant nothing to me
A burden of life for eternity
Free me, release me
Oh how I've fallen from grace
Into the darkest embrace

My dreams alone I cast amid the clouds
Nightmares born of sweet abandonment
Once noble deeds a purer spirit's chore
But pure I am no more

How could you think you'd change nothing of me
A gift of this curse, so deadly and sweet
Cleanse me, absolve me
I beg from my knees to on high
I raise my fist to defy
Fear me, oh forgive me
A burden of life in my hands
Their blood now dust in the sand

Free me, cleanse me, fear me, destroy me

Alone now I lie, lost beneath the world's feet
A worthier being than I
To taste the gift untainted

Alone she stands above the ocean
Alone she walks the tides of darkness
A thousand tears she sheds upon me
To wash me all away
