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
