Drift

from The Stag King by Night Tongue

/

lyrics

From the corner of a waking eye
A glimpse of treasure caught
As darkness comes and lights the way
Silence bends the thought

Lover
I heard you calling out to me
Heavy
Through the fog I couldn’t see

In a casket made of blackened stone
At the bottom of the sea
Its keeper holds an hourglass
Our flesh and blood its key

Drifting
Don’t drift away in silence
Holding
Tightly to the razor wire

All the beauty all the pain
Ours forever more
The river running blue and gold
The ecstasy of all

Hold me
Hold me in your arms
Help me
Help me from this agony
Slay me
Slay me with your subtle knife
Holy
In death we’ll have it all
