Abandonment and estrangement
At the end of days
Like the maker I give life
And I take away
Your light burns low and your fuse shorts out
Left to drift away
And you fall to earth like silt
And form a mound of grey
And all you left reminds me
That the hand was held but a sacrifice away
Behind your eyes and your vacant smile
There sings a maid
Of her home where war once raged
And she's home to stay
