David Lang, Shara Worden, Owen Pallett, Bryce Dessner & Nico Muhly - Lang: Death Speaks

Death Speaks: No. 3. Mist is rising

mist is rising
moon is full and rising
sky above us
it is so full

I greet you, sister soul
rise up, like an eagle
rise up, to where the light is
rise up, to where the light is from

I am your rest, I am your peace
I am what you long for, and
what makes the longing go away
I am full of joy for you, and
I am full of grief
come in and close the door behind you
I will drive your sadnesses away
my eyes fill with your light
fill them
fill them

sweetest child
come with me
I will play with you
I will show you
the flowers and the shore
my mother's golden robe
my daughters and their evening dance
they know a song to sing while you are sleeping
I love you
I love all of you
I love your face
I love your form
please don't make me make you follow me

come and see

tears of love become strands of pearls
when the angel comes
