Requiem by When Forever Ends Lyrics
I hear the darkness to you
Is as bright as the sun[1]
How much longer will I war within
Until you come?
Do you hear me?
Am I wasting my breath?
Send your light to my eyes or I will surely sleep in death[2]
I have a loyalty to life[3]
But I feel dead
When the sand won't stop raining down inside my head
Buried alive in time
Do I move first for you to abide?
I have interest to exist[3]
Eloi, Eloi[4]
Have you washed your hands of this?
Is your patience running thin?[5]
My soul is gripped by sheol
I don't have the words
To move this solemn stanza[6]
On to the next verse
I'm short of breath
By the stone in my chest
Deep cries out to deep
Sweep over me[7]
Deep cries out to deep
Drown me in the water
I won't fight to breathe
Bring my mind to rest
Bring my weary mind to rest[8]
Do you have a song that you sing for me?
Do you sing it out with any regularity?[9]
Do you rejoice when I long for your voice?
Can I hear a whisper of your melody?
Sing over me
Though you're weak in heart
And failing in flesh[10]
My peace will protect you
Return to your rest[11]
Remember me, child
Bring petition and prayer[12]
I am right there beside you
Do you trust that I am there?[13]
