Veil Walker

Sister, I pray you're well
Holding out for heaven whilst you're going through hell
Sister, how did we end up this way?
Lost to the storm but never phased by the rain
Your words
Keep me anchored whilst our prayers go unanswered
I'm looking back at regret, bound to never forget
I close my eyes but I can still feel the torment

Oh, if I could find a way to rewrite fate or turn back time
Then I would trade your life for mine
I swear to God, I'd do it every time, every time
Now I burn with anxiety
I let the guilt be my gasoline
If I could trade your life for mine
I swear to God, I'd do it every time, every time

Now at the end of time
You're so far away from me
How do I cope with
Letting you go when it could have been, should have been me?
I can't shake your memory
The image burned into my eyes
I won't face reality
Cascading sickness that rots down to the core

I beg you, haunt me
Come at the witching hour
So I can see your face again
'Cause I don't sleep
Knowing your suffering was a pain I was unable to end
I know the light is calling
Now the world is standing still
For a single second, lost in time

Oh, if I could find a way to rewrite fate or turn back time
Then I would trade your life for mine
I swear to God, I'd do it every time, every time
Now I burn with anxiety
I let the guilt be my gasoline
If I could trade your life for mine
I swear to God, I'd do it every time, every time, no
If I could trade your life for mine
Then I would do it every time, every time

Now I burn with anxiety
I let the guilt be my gasoline
To fuel the fires of your memory
I'd trade your life for mine, every time

I'd trade your life for mine, every time
Sister, walk free beyond the veil
Where you go, I'll follow
