Terrible Light

A place so empty
A frozen stillness sun
I was the silent one
Before a warming glow
What was this faith
That burned a hole in you
And from the faintest spot
Under the palest sky
There was a glorious fire (was a glorious fire)
Became a terrible light (came a terrible light)
Flashing in each others eyes (flashing in your eyes)
Was the burning of our desires
How could I have known (was a glorious fire)
What a ray came beneath (came a terrible light)
Everything is second truth (flashing in your eyes)
There is nothing we could have changed
How could this happen
We were …
Another flowering bloom
Before …
Yesterday’s roses
Scattered in broken glass
It was a …
Is this how it will end
And as I watch you walk away
You refuse to be replaced
You refuse to be replaced
