Call me what you will, this night I am your savior
Name me as you please, for now I'll have my payment
What price your ailing heart? Have I not brought you riches?
These years have not been kind, not like you have found me
Strong the words that bade me to you then
Strong the will that keeps you from me now
Cold the day that tightens still its grasp
So as the flame will burn, the candle shall give out
And you shall not know pain
None like you have ever known
There are words for your suffering
Only your god shall hear
Take my hand
For your word
Oh, Sister - remember what is mine
Oh, Sister - I have come for what is mine
Is a higher power at stake
Where I serve bring you down?
In the years where your light
Serves less to show the way
Is it pain to know the deal is struck
With your name upon the deed?
What must it take for eyes to see?
A failing heart and fading pulse
And affliction that moves to show
There is a world elsewhere you'll know
I am the still small flame
That begs you close your eyes
I am the years of wait
I am the cause for you to lay your head down
