stare - st. michael's litany lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
kneeling by the threshold
to hear the parting breath
unrelenting misery
ends in mercy of death
i’ve come to oversee you
to heed the dying prayer
beneath my wings i cradle you
protect you from despair

[chorus]
a funeral procession, a last goodbye
as they march to an elegy
after the soul’s release
seek and you’ll find me
descending to meet you and lift you up
another soul to save
keeping you from h+ll
and the chill of the grave

[verse 2]
your life’s a distant picture
daylight dwindlеs to grey
i usher you into the light
as thеy carry your cask away
and now they walk a light year
under an angry sky
the wind and rain still sing for you
a final lullaby
[chorus]
a funeral procession, a last goodbye
as they march to an elegy
after the soul’s release
seek and you’ll find me
descending to meet you and lift you up
another soul to save
keeping you from h+ll
and the chill of the grave

[verse 3]
so this is all that’s left now
this is all you’ve known
a lesson in mortality:
we’re born, we die alone
another pile of ashes
and even when we’re gone
even when the world forgets
we go on and on

[chorus]
a funeral procession, a last goodbye
as they march to an elegy
after the soul’s release
seek and you’ll find me
descending to meet you and lift you up
another soul to save
keeping you from h+ll
and the chill of the grave
