about

This track is the result of a collaboration that started when AzumiG (Martin Gainford) posted an instrumental he'd recorded on the goth subforum of the reddit website.

The music struck a chord with me and I responded to it fairly quickly. Hope you enjoy this experiment.

lyrics

lyrics:

set aside the day
stop the clocks and pray
it's time to steal away
From our worldly masters

no harsh words left to say
no violins that play
let's just light a flame
for a world in ashes

the river still runs strong
for a life that was too long
I watched our yesterdays
go hurling past us

returning to their source
a light that's run its course
I'll help you light a flame
for a world in ashes

and the river flows
still the river flows
but what with us goes?
what in us goes?

stay with me today
we’ll stop the clocks and pray
the time we gave away
now long moved past us

the river, still and cold
a trickle that still holds
a force from yesterday
that still attracts us

the shadows have grown long
help me to be strong
will you light a flame
as a world it passes

no, I will not survive
so keep me by your side
prepare to save a place
for my world in ashes
