Woven through this abiding pain A single thread shines bright again Thunder raging high on the hill Darkness moving in for the kill Lead me to the ladder To anywhere instead Out across the water Of the river of the dead Lead me to the ladder Of black amethyst and lead Out across the water In the valley of the dead Love, I’ll meet you at the ladder.
