I lie with blackened chest
Tears, dense, welling in swollen eyes
Resplendent in winter's ash

My God be upheld in our distress
My cries fill the air
My God
My God

Domine libera animas defunctorum
Domine libera animas defunctorum

Winter envelopes

I lie with blackened chest
Tears, dense, welling in swollen eyes
Resplendent in winter's ash
Resplendent in winter's ash
Resplendent
Resplendent

Where is my God in the dull ear of night?
With tuneless voice, a requiem sung
Wailing and breadless, alone
On a flower strewn earth
Where is my God?

Look at me, upon my bruised head
Taste my ruin, my ashen soul
I tread alone

Winter envelopes

Resplendent
