The Stillness Within

In her eyes lies all the beauty in the world Dancing in the moon light, liquid unfiltered Breathe the last breath, lungs ache for freedom On the banks of the river awaiting the dawn Dancing in the moon light, liquid unfiltered Facing the moon the warmth on her back On the banks of the river awaiting the dawn A likeness in the stillness of the water Facing the moon the warmth on her back Filling the coffin with her loved ones ashes A likeness in the stillness of the water Feeding upon the darkness inside her Filling the coffin with her loved ones ashes Breathe the last breath, lungs ache for freedom Feeding upon the darkness inside her In her eyes lies all the beauty in the world
