From the recording Sharing Perils

Stephen sang and played guitars and piano.

Lyrics

Stayed there for so long, an absentee
Past an intolerable degree
Minutes coming, going every day
Settling for something like decay

Their throat is an
An open grave
Stay down on your knees
For the end of days

Living proof, I did not want to be
But finally, I realized I believed
Promises were words, fragile as clouds
Threads of tranquility were unwound

Looking back, it isn't hard to see
Violence executed silently
Sons of destruction, it's over now
I was lost and you were never found

Give light to my eyes
Or I'll sleep in death
And still as the night
We finally rest
