You are my ardent light and my inspiration. I love you and will always protect you.
lyrics
Anxiety looms over the foundation of my skull-sized home
Lingering, it haunts me like a spell of impending death
I will take your hand and follow you into the dark
With you I am safe: wrapped in the embrace of an ardent light
I have seen you and I, and with you I am happy
As long as I am with you when this ends, I will be ok
The noise that rots away in my mind will cease to grow one day
Until the soil of this earth tastes my mortal shell, I will live with joy all the days of my life
With you I am safe
Joy will follow me all the days of my life
I no longer need to be afraid

We hope to perform with this band one day. Some of the best to do it! There is something so special and unique that we find in their sound; it is perfectly satisfactory. To Be Gentle
