Fellowship - Silhouette

I'm a silhouette of who I was
Across from flames that spark the
Doubts, and hopes, and echoes of
A silhouette that looks like me
Burning hope to keep us
Tangible 'til dawn

Twilight sits beside me
Where company should be
Let the stars put out my hope
and, in their place, light me

Silhouette,
Become my statuette
Replace this chest of mine
Take stone for the ash inside!
Silhouette
Live now at my behest
This burden consecrate
A statue in my place

If I ever lack then who will carry me?
Return to the eye, oh tear forgone!
If I'm an echo of those better things
Then my sound is half way
Drowned by silence answering!
And now, a figure in the bitter fray
Come what may, war or rain
I'll hear you echoing!

Twilight sits beside me
Where company should be
Let the stars put out my hope
and, in their place, light me

Silhouette,
Become my statuette
Replace this chest of mine
Take stone for the ash inside!
Silhouette
Live now at my behest
This burden consecrate
A statue in my place

To fade or fight through
The final throes of my due?
If I'm alive,
Then life I can't refuse

Silhouette,
Become my statuette
Replace this chest of mine
Take stone for the ash inside!
Silhouette
Live now at my behest
This burden consecrate
A statue in my place
