By Virtue of a Promise Lyrics

I stand starlit
below the mouth of a blackened sky
As if cemented in concrete
without a single soul by my side

The night whispers
Every wind spells out a word
But with each breath it goes silent
to let me be heard
Together we sound the blues
that imbue this world

Promise me that all I give
will come twofold in return
I am renouncing life to live

Eyes in the sky
Splendors of light
Set ablaze the million suns
and bear witness to my plight

I stand before you in urgency
to ask for solace and for wings to soar
Reach out
I'm yours to carry, to journey endlessly
The closest part of me is light years away

Ardent vibrations flow upward
Far beyond the pillars of a starlit land
Ancient ears are lent by giants
I strum in an angelic trance

Promise me that this I taste
is the lifeblood of the earth
I am renouncing life to live
