Only You - Sabbath Assembly

My heart breaks, bleeding to death

Shattered awake, nothing but breath

What are you now, new virgin snow?

You melt in my arms as I hold you close

Light explodes in my soul, fragments the whole

With distant eyes I sit and wait, closing the gate

The fire is out, warmth gone thereof

My wounds soothed by the stars above

Gold wine is drunk, dregs remain

Bitter as wormwood, salty as pain

God’s ears are filled with silence yet the call of the drum

Sounds in my chest, eternal rest, descend to hell

I’ll love him ‘til his thickened skin is torn to shreds

‘Til his last drop of blood is shorn

I’ll love him ‘til his dry bones fall apart

‘Til the ghost is satiated in his heart

In my fight to be alone I peer beneath his tombstone

In the crypt I behold a shadow in the air now growing cold

With my heat the cold now unites

Creates a mist so thick I have no sight

What can penetrate sadness so true?

Only You

Silence around, leaf falls to leaf

Through the trees, longing now creeps

Perceive yourself, perceive now God

All is dust — what more do you want?

Deep in the darkness in his face I found my place

What penetrates sadness so true?

Only you
