Now the morn star, hung above my head,
Came down from the fallen sky
The touch of an Angel hands unto my shoulders-
hail heaven from afar
no-more thee to see but memories,
Salute the last breath I breathe
and wish away the warm desire of death-
pale rain falls from the place the spirits rest
drown me in the emotional downpours.
Who gave birth, O envy,
Too many lovers over my head
O bless thee sweet tempresses-
I drank for thirst unto lust
And danger came from the refillable hunger,
Thou art where thou art meant to be
amongst the others waiting,
Whomever shall set claim to me-
What wilt the strangers say
Angels gathering forming over one.

Ah, what punishment awaits deaths whispers,
To hide the sun beneath the earth
whom infinite pain shall roar through and through-
Hath forgiveness set me free from my conquested mistakes
is the deep now the height longing to sooth me,
As fate shall say its last farewell before the heart beats no-more
This broken soul hath many wounds to show
And the sandgrains fall to a halt-
’tis time to turn the hourglass to other world
I see my recorded life playing over,
Oft in lonesome tides shall I detect my fault-
’twas love from the beating of the heart
and thou art one Angel awaiting me,
The others shall be what they were meant to be
lovers in the tides of my life.

"The others shall be what they were meant to be
lovers in the tides of my life."

I just couldn't resist these lines RedStone. Nice piece of work.
