Lyrics for Halo of Ashes

She wears a halo of ashes Specter on the wind Waits on me so patiently I no longer can pretend Sky lies a thousand miles below Stars shine and the moon is clear With nothing I can only warn Won't you be left near here I've been a long, long time away With one foot in the grave Glorified in the dying of the sun My angel pulls me closer As my poison she crawls through Walks with me so silently I no longer can refuse Tomorrow my thousand miles behind Stars shine and the moon below Wake me where you find me Pretend you don't know I've been a long, long time away With one foot in the grave Glorified in the dying of the sun She wears a halo of ashes Specter on the wind Waits on me so patiently I no longer can pretend Tomorrow my thousand miles behind Face painted in the moon below Wake me where you find me Pretend you don't know I've been a long, long time away With one foot in the grave Glorified in the dying of the sun I've been a long, long time away With one foot in the grave Glorified in the dying of the sun
