By Darkness Undone

I feel the darkness rising, the light is dying, in my eyes
The light has died
Now the shadow starts to rise.

As the threads of our lives, begin to unwind
The pattern is broken, the shadow will rise
From dust we were gathered, to dust we return.

From ashes to ashes, from dust into dust
This moment so fragile, it cannot be touched.

These fragile ties, they bind us together, forever entwined
Time after time, the wheel keeps on turning
Weaving the fabric of our lives.

The shadow has come, to swallow the sun
Our dreams have unravelled, by darkness undone.

From light into shadow, from dawn until dusk
One single lifetime, is never enough.

These tender lies, we tell to each other, so desperate to hide
As the threads unwind, we grasp at our purpose
For all things a perfect place and time.

The shadow has come, to swallow the sun
Our dreams have unravelled, by darkness undone.

Severing the ties that bind
Watching one by one, as they come undone
With the passage of time
All things come to the end of the line.

As the threads of our lives, begin to unwind
The pattern is broken, the shadow will rise
From dust we were gathered, to dust we return.
