UNEXed - Requiem

Cold air over empty streets A low sky hangs without a name

I walk where the old signs faded

Counting the cracks in the rain

Every window holds a silence Every step brings back your name

Hold on The night is turning Hold on

I feel the ground awake

When the dark

comes over me I still carry your fire

In the hollow between heartbeats

You pull me higher

and higher

Now the road feels even longer And the air turns hard to

breathe

But a spark keeps moving through me Like a vow I never

leave

Rise

now Let the walls fall under Rise now Let the old grief

break

I won't

disappear in the closing light I won't lay my hope in the

dust tonight

From the ache and the ruin I call your name And the

sky opens wide as the fire takes shape

Stay near Stay near
