The Autumn Offering - The Castaway

Upon my crimson thorns
A king in my own mind
Encase my dying heart
These wall built far too high

No more my words shall be taken for granted by you
Your vanity
My failure
The silence burned us through

I've been lost in endless seas
My heart died long ago
I curse my failures as I fall from you

This one last flame I wish to burn
The day that left us dead
Time's carved my bitter soul
That you don't understand
One last flame
Within the waves she looks as I recall
Naked and cold
One last flame

Now when I cast my eyes to open water
Her image will appear
A vision of beauty broken
Her words forever spoken
"How could you leave me here"?

I've been lost in endless seas
My heart died long ago
I curse my failures as I fall from you
This candle's burning one last flame
The darkness covers all
With a dying breath I speak your name
Alone among the fall
