Final Farewell from Manasseh's Rose by Hemlock Sun

The wind flows freely, flying light as air
And snatched my worries, tangled up in snares
And I've forgotten, I forgot to care
The curtains lift to see what's really there

My gaze went smoldering fixed toward the ground
And here thoughts were frozen thoughts, her eyes were brown
Douse the fire, put the candles out
Storm clouds rage and save my soul from the drought

Deeper and deeper we return
Into the fires of our words
And our farewells
They rose and swelled
But now they've sunk into the ground
I hope you're keeping what you've found

I cut my hair and changed my native name
Doors will open and shut and there's no one to blame
Nothing's certain it never stays the same
Now that my debt's been paid I'll be on my way

Deeper and deeper we return
Into the fires of our words
And our farewells
They rose and swelled
But now they've sunk into the ground
I hope you're keeping what you've found
