[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Stay with me awhile

Rise above the vile

Name my final rest

Poured into my chest

[Chorus]

Into the orchard I walk, peering way past the gate

Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait

Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead

Halo of death, all I see is departure

Mourner's lament, but it's me who's the martyr

[Verse 2]

Pledge yourself to me

Never leave me be

Sweat breaks on my brow

Given time ends now

[Chorus]

Into the orchard I walk, peering way past the gate

Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait

Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead

Halo of death, all I see is departure

Mourner's lament, but it's me who's the martyr

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Spirit painted sin

Embers neath my skin

Veiled in pale embrace

Reached and touched my face

[Chorus]

Into the orchard I walk, peering way past the gate

Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait

Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead

(Release your grip, let me go, into the night)

Halo of death, all I see is departure

Mourner's lament, but it's me who's the martyr
