Feel

It's all that I could e'er desire
To fade into this depthless fire

My passion
My solace
All that I ever could feel

And it must be the flames
That I never could tame
It must be what's felt
As my heart slowly melts

Ah, the sunset still flows
And all time comes and goes

I will be. I will stay.
I will weather it all.
I will see. In this day,
I will know life's gray pall

As time burns holes into my memory
As passion drowns me, purified, I see

This is all that I could ever be
Passion, pain, sweet sorrow, purity

A crimson sunset fades away
Life is a beautiful rain
