The Altar

Bleeding red from a blushing hue
Sun splashes onto rocks below
This liquid gold, this fade to blue
No more leaves left to grow

Keeping time has made me lose
All these things I held so close
The paths I take, the same as old
No more leaves left to grow

Building love just to tear it down
Tower crashes into dust below
This temple falls, this ode to sound
No more leaves left to grow

What will balance mean
When I am alone
When God comes to collect
But I'm already gone?
What will balance mean when I am alone?

Bleeding red from a blushing hue
Sun splashes onto rocks below

What will balance mean
When I am alone
When God comes to collect
But I'm already gone?
