Near, near, who lingers here?
Near, near, who lingers near?
A shadow falls, a haze descends,
This night, this face unknown attends.
Each glance, a life-breath ebbs away,
Each glance, a life-breath gone astray.
A haze descends, a haze descends.
Near, near, who lingers here?
Near, near, who lingers near?

A shadow falls, a haze descends,
This night, this face unknown attends.
Each glance, a life-breath ebbs away,
Each glance, a life-breath gone astray.
A haze descends, a haze descends.
Lost is the world, smoke-shrouded, deep,
What scene unfolds, secrets to keep?
Someone is here, someone is there,
How are the footprints, beyond compare?
Lost is the world, smoke-shrouded, deep,
What scene unfolds, secrets to keep?
Someone is here, someone is there,
How are the footprints, beyond compare?
This deathly watch, a silent decree,
Each glance, a life-breath sets it free.
Near, near, who lingers here?
Near, near, who lingers near?

Someone comes, and someone goes,
Young echoes, softly, as the wind blows.
The journey's bare, the searching eye,
Seeks who is lost, and where they lie.
Someone comes, and someone goes,
Young echoes, softly, as the wind blows.
The journey's bare, the searching eye,
Seeks who is lost, and where they lie.
This secret held, so dark and deep,
Each glance, a life-breath it will keep.
Near, near, who lingers here?
Near, near, who lingers near?

A shadow falls, a haze descends,
This night, this face unknown attends.
Each glance, a life-breath ebbs away,
Each glance, a life-breath gone astray.
A haze descends, a haze descends.
