Lyrics for The Parting

In the weak light I saw you becoming the lie Taking it all for granted Like freedom It's something you'll never have Forget what's said And hear me sing to you How I've set out to kill my soul The nightward ways The labour it brings The verdict that I came for Migration's song Patterns of death overwhelms Fixation rise I came along the way And came to a conclusion The indifferent sky Is made of lead and so beautiful Submission Come you will In the weak light I saw you becoming the lie Taking it all for granted Like freedom It's something you'll never have The parting End origin Fade into earth Times ablaze Under the flags we chose Denied my step and froze my heart Yet I stare With nothing left to do The verdict that I came for Migration's song Patterns of death overwhelms Fixation rise I came along the way And came to a conclusion The indifferent sky Is made of lead and so beautiful Submission Come you will Take your well deserved step Into darkness I'll become your eyes You have no other We have to walk along this wire Trust the one that never trusted you (Trust the one that never trusted you) In the weak light I saw you becoming the lie Taking it all for granted Like freedom It's something you'll never have The parting End origin Fade into earth
