Halo of Ashes

She wears a halo of ashes
Specter on the wind
Waits on me so patiently
I no longer can pretend
Sky lies a thousand miles below
Stars shine and the moon is clear
With nothing I can only warn
Won't you be left near here
I've been a long, long time away
With one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun

My angel pulls me closer
As my poison she crawls through
Walks with me so silently
I no longer can refuse
Tomorrow my thousand miles behind
Stars shine and the moon below
Wake me where you find me
Pretend you don't know
I've been a long, long time away
With one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun

She wears a halo of ashes
Specter on the wind
Waits on me so patiently
I no longer can pretend
Tomorrow my thousand miles behind
Face painted in the moon below
Wake me where you find me
Pretend you don't know
I've been a long, long time away
With one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun

I've been a long, long time away
With one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun
