Onset - Bastions

The passing of the seasons give us casualties

Sitting in this ward on New Year’s Eve

I hoped and prayed he would pull through

That winter was the coldest too

Where the pavement ends, anguish governs the heart

White eyes in the house of the sick

I’m broken, remorseful and cruel

I can’t get past these bleak white lights

I can’t get past these countless nights

Hold on

I can’t get past these bleak white lights

Hold on

I can’t get past these countless nights

Merciful Lord tear down this house I dream for peaceful respite hours

Please keep him on this I. V drip

His words in my head said stay with me, oh stay with me, pray sweet release

I’m crushed under the weight of my regret

White eyes in the house of the sick

I’m broken, remorseful and cruel
