Saturn’s Return

Promises made long ago
Set fire to the earth below
We watched these buildings burn
Ashes mixed with the bricks in the snow

But our winter falters
These frostbitten daughters of ice
Are now too thin to walk

Memories made long ago
Remind me of your undertow
A sea of trees is ablaze
White horses racing to carry me home
Where nothing is tender
The soured surrender
The ice too thin for us to walk

I made your pearls
As hard as diamond
I strung the current 'round my neck
Fingers of ice dragging me under
Drowned by the memories of your touch

Some wounds just never heal
A million more can't bring you home
I'd sell my soul to dress your bones
For without you I'm alone
On these feet your vines will grow

Burning eyes that glow
Burning eyes that glow
Burning eyes that glow
Burning eyes that glow
Oh you
