Visitation Room by Shadow Windhawk Lyrics
Behind a door
Down the hall
The casket spray is dying
Dried flower perfume, old yet strong
Visitation brings no ease
In a flood it rushes back
The day death crushed her dreams
In those blank eyes
She gazed into
No tears to dry
“be with you soon”
A vacant stare
A lonely room
I’ll wake again
Laugh, cry, pretend
“please tell me that
This is not true”
She turned away
They closed the door
“I’ll miss you always darling
And dream of you, till I’m no more..”
Incised and drained
Stitched up, turned blue
No tears to dry
“be with you soon”
Wish I could hear your voice before
Before you’re kneeling
On my grave
By the shore
The face of a ghost
Once so adored
She’s still waiting for
At rest in silence
Draped in gray
Pulled through the veil
Weightless forms
That guide my hands
So lost and frail
Lay awake in night's arms
Lost beneath the sky and stars
Wish you could be here too
In the visitation room
Down the hall
The casket spray is dying
Dried flower perfume, old yet strong
Visitation brings no ease
In a flood it rushes back
The day death crushed her dreams
In those blank eyes
She gazed into
No tears to dry
“be with you soon”
A vacant stare
A lonely room
I’ll wake again
Laugh, cry, pretend
“please tell me that
This is not true”
She turned away
They closed the door
“I’ll miss you always darling
And dream of you, till I’m no more..”
Incised and drained
Stitched up, turned blue
No tears to dry
“be with you soon”
Wish I could hear your voice before
Before you’re kneeling
On my grave
By the shore
The face of a ghost
Once so adored
She’s still waiting for
At rest in silence
Draped in gray
Pulled through the veil
Weightless forms
That guide my hands
So lost and frail
Lay awake in night's arms
Lost beneath the sky and stars
Wish you could be here too
In the visitation room
