I hear the darkness to you Is as bright as the sun How much longer will I war within until you come Do you hear me Am I wasting my breath Send your light to my eyes or I will surely sleep in death I have a loyalty to life But I feel dead When the sand won't stop raining down inside my head Buried alive in time Do I move first for you to abide I have interest to exist Eloi, Eloi Have you washed your hands of this Is your patience running thin My soul is gripped by sheol I don't have the words To move this solemn stanza On to the next verse I'm short of breath By the stone in my chest Deep cries out to deep Sweep over me Deep cries out to deep Drown me in the water I won't fight to breathe Bring my mind to rest Bring my weary mind to rest Do you have a song that you sing for me Do you sing it with any regularity Do you rejoice when I long for your voice Can I hear a whisper of your melody Sing over me Though you're weak in heart And failing in flesh My peace will protect you Return to your rest Remember me, child Bring petition and prayer I am right there beside you Do you trust that I am there
