Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ash settles softly on the old stone wall Cold hands remember what the years recall I carry names that no one speaks aloud Beneath a sky pressed low with iron cloud [Chorus] Stay with me beneath the weight Where every door has sealed its gate If morning comes, let it pass by We are the last ones asking why [Verse 2] The chapel bell is cracked and out of time Its hollow note falls through the winter pine Your photograph turns pale beside the flame Still, i can trace the shape that bore your name [Chorus] Stay with me beneath the weight Where every door has sealed its gate If morning comes, let it pass by We are the last ones asking why [Bridge] No absolution in the earth below No final warmth beneath the falling snow But in the dark, your hand is still in mine A small defiance against the end of time [Final chorus] Stay with me beneath the weight Though every door has sealed its gate Let silence take the world outside I will remain here by your side [Outro] The last ember dims The long night begins
