Sleep, my tarnished silver
Let me dull you once again
And let our battle end

Sleep, my snowless winter
Let me warm you once before I go
And I'll pretend to know and understand


Sleep, my fallen cedar
Let me have your weakened pride to hold

And join my barren soil
Sleep, my aimless river
Let your torrent rest against my shore

And leave me what was washed away before

Time's been kind to you, my love


As the world had never been
Kinder than to me

Strange, the things that we regret
You wanted me to leave
I found enough to give you that


Sleep, my darkened chapel
Let me kneel before you now, as then

Unworthy as I am
Sleep, my flameless shadow
Let me cool the lingering fires of old

And carry only ashes in my soul

Sleep, my tarnished silver...
