Stay with me a while
Rise above the vile
Name my final rest
Pored into my chest
Chorus:
Into the orchard I walk, peering way past the
gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn’t wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows
ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner’s lament, but it’s me who’s the martyr
Pledge yourself to me
Never leave me be
Sweat breaks on my brow
Given time ends now
Chorus
Solo: Åkerfeldt
Spirit painted sin
Embers ’neath my skin
Veiled in pale embrace
Reached and touched my face
