I BEGIN TO SHAKE
I am the dark remaining still
Deep within memories fill
A hundred years buried in
Suppressing cries lights go dim
Between the walls while you sleep
You reach out shadows creep
Air throughout groans under weight
Of loss that now is our fate
It seeps below vibrations hum
Our harmony has just begun
I feel the heat the sudden rush
Blood hits the floor hush
In the cupola light escapes
Plaster sighs shadows shape
A century about to break
Holding breath I begin to shake
I begin to shake
I am the dark remaining still
Deep within memories fill
A hundred years buried in
Suppressing cries lights go dim
Between the walls while you sleep
You reach out shadows creep
Air throughout groans under weight
Of loss that now is our fate
It seeps below vibrations hum
Our harmony has just begun
I feel the heat the sudden rush
Blood hits the floor hush
In the cupola light escapes
Plaster sighs shadows shape
A century about to break
Holding breath I begin to shake
In the cupola light escapes
Plaster sighs shadows shape
A century about to break
Holding breath I begin to shake
I begin to shake
