I Gave You Wings

I gave you wings

You gave me death

I gave you life

And you were blessed

I gave you wings

You gave your love

The kingdom within

I'll let you in

I was left here alone

To be the tortured sun

Doom-riven

Deprived of her song

Long ago

On this derelict path

Through cosmic night

I am the servant on the fields of sorrow

Now, I have no strength left within me

It was turned into tears

For the Heavens to see

Hold it togethеr

For one more winter

I gavе you wings

Tears down my chest

My arms around you

Now you can rest

I gave you wings

A way to learn

So you can find me

When you return

Woe to them:

Hypocrites! Murderers!

Brood of vipers

Veiled in false pretence

Whose virtue is but a cold offense

Seated high within their gilded places

Slithering deep inside Archonic temples

You and I

We are the residues of light

And we took the sacrifice

Long ago

This derelict path

Through drizzling snow

The path to wisdom edged with thorns

Now, I have no ardour left within me

It was turned into tears

For the world to see

For one more winter

Hold it together!

You gave me wings

I gave you Death

And took your sins

From your dying breath

I cannot save you

From this world

I wrap my arms around you

As darkness stir

If you perceive me, you perceive yourself

It is through my eyes that you see me

And see yourself

For if you approach me

It is because I have approached you
