Lyrics
Breath on Fire
(Verse 01)
Worn wood, chipped paint, cartilage of rust
Salt air from sea churned up like dust
Fine moisture spray, steep emerald swell
Liquid folds to crush a creaking shell
(Rant)
I just want you to speak again
I just want you to walk again
I just want you to love again
I just want you to be again
Always to Remember
(Verse 02)
Simple morning sun can warm the breeze
Simple morning rush can kill the day
Weapon of fate it fills her eyes
Her tender motion screeched to still-life
(Rant)
I just want you to speak again
I just want you to walk again
I just want you to love again
I just want you to be again
Always to Remember
(Outro / Verse 03)
I just want you to speak again
I just want you to walk again
I just want you to love again
I just want you to be again
Crumbling walls, decaying floor
His breath on fire, heart hollow
Merciful whispers all he needs
Love lights the path and he will follow
Thielus, as is nearly always the case with your work, this is musically sparkling and beautiful. I just love the guitar work. The production is clear, clean, and impressive. Lyrically this is a powerful piece of work. The song bleeds sadness and loss. The words dissolve into the music like a chemical solution. If this is not a lament for someone lost, then it should be -- even though, as is always the case -- the loss itself will always hurt and feel unseemly. The still sad music of humanity, raw and real.
