The Lights of St. James

Don't the lights of St. James look like candle flames at night

Burning off their dead, with sparrows over head in flight

Let us shed these shadows of battles that you've had to fight

Because all I ever wanted was to see you in that light

All I ever wanted was you

All the idols in silence are slowly turning to stone

They speak nothing of the covenants, the revenants have all been known

Look for their eyes, all covered in flies, as the wild moss grows

All I ever wanted was you and you alone

All I ever wanted was you

Do you feel the pull of the heart, and all of the parts that burn?

Like a season's last breath, as it finally turns

The pain that it causes is wrapped in the rawness of the wound, it'll be gone soon

Because all I ever wanted, was you, oh you

All I ever wanted was you

Does the blindness of night leave you frightened, does it leave you numb?

Does it make you wonder of what was and what will become?

If it brings you to your knees, at least it's somewhere to pray from

Because all I ever wanted was you to become

All I ever wanted was you
