I Welcome Thy Arrow

Lyrics for I Welcome Thy Arrow

You're the hunter I'm the haunted Woven with sorrow's thread Where I go you will follow I welcome thy arrow Hand me thy poisonous chalice Impale me on thy spear And adhere! Steadfast in my sorrow I welcome thy arrow Neath idle, blood-shut eyes There's a whole universe there The indefinite chart Of life's spectral ocean But I was lost in woodlands Famished and broken Of what seemed like еndless winter The huntеr and the haunted Adrift from here Over soul-sick burrow and shore I welcome thy arrow Hand me thy poisonous chalice With arms outstretched Come here This is thy prey! And I will not pray to be saved Not at ease with my sorrow So I welcome thy arrow Recounting its history I'm keeping it here The indefinite chart Of life's spectral ocean But I was lost in woodlands Famished and broken Of what seemed like endless winter The hunter and the haunted I lay outstretched and bare In the vermillion glare There's a whole universe there No more am I to weep I'm awakened from the dream Of an insomniacs sleep Like a newly fallen star I overcome the unwinnable war I overcome the unwinnable war
