The Castaway - The Autumn Offering

Upon my crimson thorns

A king in my own mind

Encase my dying heart

These wall built far too high

No more my words shall be

Taken for granted by you

Your vanity, my failure

The silence burned us through

I’ve been lost in endless seas

My heart died long ago

I curse my failures as I fall from you

This one last flame I wish to burn

The day that left us dead

Time’s carved my bitter soul

That you don’t understand one last flame

Within the waves she looks as I recall

Naked and cold, one last flame

Now when I cast my eyes to open water

Her image will appear

A vision of beauty broken

Her words forever spoken

«How could you leave me here?»

I’ve been lost in endless seas

My heart died long ago

I curse my failures as I fall from you

This candle’s burning one last flame

The darkness covers all

With a dying breath I speak your name

Alone among the fall
