Skin Like Winter - ZAO

Ashes to ashes dust to dust

Beautiful child turning into stone

With your eyes so dim I shudder

Bitterness runs through your soul

Like small children

Confusion dances in the dusk of your mind

Exchange your blessings for deceptions good night kiss

Skin like winter

Cherished one wasting away

I can see your breath begging to resurrect into death

Hiding scars back laced with splinters

Audience of a congregation make your way to the front

Close your eyes and grieve

You played your part so well
