Assemblage 23 December Lyrics

In the passing light,
Silent and alone
Trying to make sense,
A fate now set in stone
There's never enough time
Somehow it isn't fair
Sprinting towards the finish,
Running out of air
When December ends

When December ends,
At last, you will be free
Unbound from earthly plight,
Unfettered by disease
When December ends,
The pain disappears
Worries all behind you
No more suffering or fear

Everyday is pain
A dull narcotic haze
Brief moments of awareness
Losing track of days The world seems so dim
As faculties decline
Your body, just a prison,
To trap your mind inside

When the moment came
A tear fell from your eye
Your senses overwhelmed
A beauty undefied
Weightless and complete
Some sense of ease
May your spirit carry on,
As the wind shakes the trees

When December ends
At last, you will be free
Unbound from earthly plight,
Unfettered by disease
When December ends,
The pain disappears
Worries all behind you
No more suffering or fear
