December Lyrics - Assemblage 23

In the passing light, 

Silent and alone 

Trying to make sense, 

A fate now set in stone 

There's never enough time 

Somehow it isn't fair 

Sprinting towards the finish, 

Running out of air 

When December ends 

When December ends, 

At last, you will be free 

Unbound from earthly plight, 

Unfettered by disease 

When December ends, 

The pain disappears 

Worries all behind you 

No more suffering or fear 

^[chorus] 

Everyday is pain 

A dull narcotic haze 

Brief moments of awareness 

Losing track of days 

The world seems so dim 

As faculties decline 

Your body, just a prison, 

To trap your mind inside 

[chorus] 

When the moment came 

A tear fell from your eye 

Your senses overwhelmed 

A beauty undefied 

Weightless and complete 

Some sense of ease 

May your spirit carry on, 

As the wind shakes the trees 

[chorus] 

When December ends...
