To Ashes Lyrics - Shadows Fall

Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp 

Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands 

Gray skies have been broken 

(I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) 

Cold eyes softly spoken 

(Your face forever etched in my mind) 

Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side 

Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside 

Gray skies have been broken 

(I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) 

Cold eyes softly spoken 

(Your face forever etched in my mind) 

You speak to me in rhythm and it waves across the water 

You speak to me in ways that I don't understand 

Deep inside I hear every word every way 

And after all is lost there is nothing left inside of me 

I long for your touch 

How I need to breathe your breath again 

Deep inside me I know I'm alone 

How I cherish your persuasive warmth 

This is not what I want life to be 

(There is no way I can stop this now) 

And there's nothing left inside of me 

I long for your touch 

How I need to breathe your breath again 

Deep inside me I know I'm alone 

How I cherish your persuasive warmth 

This is not what I want life to be 

(There is no way I can stop this now) 

And there's nothing left inside of me 

Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp 

Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands 

Gray skies have been broken 

(I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) 

Cold eyes softly spoken 

(Your face forever etched in my mind) 

Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side 

Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside 

Gray skies have been broken 

(I'll never see the warmth of your eyes) 

Cold eyes softly spoken 

(Your face forever etched in my mind) 

Endlessly unfallen words I cannot replace 

Don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again 

But I long to be your servant once more 

By the morning light I'll have breathed my last 

I implore you, don't forget my love 

Don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again 

But I long to be your servant once more 

By the morning light I'll have breathed my last 

I implore you, don't forget
