sleep my tarnished silver let me dull you once again and let our battle end sleep my snowless winter let me warm you once before i go and i ll pretend to know and understand sleep my fallen cedar let me have your weakened pride to hold and join my barren soil sleep my aimless river let your torrent rest against my shore and leave me what was washed away before time s been kind to you my love as the world had never been kinder than to me strange the things that we regret you wanted me to leave i found enough to give you that sleep my darkened chapel let me kneel before you now as then unworthy as i am sleep my flameless shadow let me cool the lingering fires of old and carry only ashes in my soul sleep my tarnished silver
