A  Great  Distance  -  The  Autumn  Offering

  Distance  has  bred  avidity

  I'm  trapped  and  cannot  fail

  Now  I  dissolve  alone

  These  days  have  bled  me  dry

    I've  been  left  alone  here

  To  drown  in  my  own  fears

    These  days  have  bled  me  dry

  If  lies  were  true  and  lies  were  new

  Would  you  still  walk  alone

  Or  would  you  sharpen  words

  That  cut  me  to  the  bone

  I've  been  left  alone  here

  To  drown  in  my  own  fears

  Darkness  cover  me  tonight

  I'm  trapped  in  your  shadows

  I'm  broken  by  sorrow

    Love  will  be  denied  to  me

  We're  at  the  ending  of  our  travels

  Her  bitter  words  I  bleed

  The  grains  of  our  spent  lives

  The  sands  were  shifting  downward

  Killing  what  I  can  not  have

    Let  me  melt  away  the  lies

  Let  me  take  away  your  soul

    I  can't  make  you  real

  I  watched  the  stars  die  in  your  eyes

    To  drown  in  my  own  fears

  Darkness  cover  me  tonight

  I'm  trapped  in  your  shadows

  I'm  broken  by  sorrow

    To  drown  in  my  own  fears

    Darkness  cover  me  tonight

  I'm  trapped  in  your  shadows

  I'm  broken  by  sorrow

    I'm  left  alone
