Martin Hall
Random Hold
She's Eternal
I never wanted her to see
The world inside me
The world was turning 'round and 'round
Like something running out of time
She whispered "listen to the wind", and her breathe burned my skin
I didn't understand, but it made me feel so still
There's a tale of the night, there's an unspoken world
And the story that she told couldn't be explained in words

'Cause she
She's eternal
With her
The world dies
And she
She's eternal
With her
The world dies
Let it die

A stone that falls into the sea
It falls inside me
These winterlands, they never change
They're covered in this quiet grey

Voices calling in the night from the corners of my mind
From the desolated worlds I was trying to leave behind
Never thought I'd be returning to the place it all began
To the tainted heart of longing, till she took me by the hand

'Cause she
She's eternal
With her
The world dies
And she
She's eternal
With her




The world dies
Let it die
