White Lilies

You held my hand

One last time

The darkened fields surrounded

Us that night, you said

When the morning comes

And when you open

Your eyes, you'll see me

Right there by your side

You told me not to fear,

That we'll live forever on, and that

Tomorrow you'll arrive by dawn

To save my soul

And then you'll see all the scars

That you aren't meant to see

And I'll be gone too soon

Here was never meant for me

And when I'm laid under the cross

You daren't shed a tear

Be still and tell yourself

That it was always meant to be

And when you hear the swallows sing

Their final dying song

You'll know then that it's time

To find your way home

Look past my final gaze

And the blood that's on the floor

And the things I never told you

That made my wrists sore
