At Her Open Door

Dead Meadow

From the heights of the town
her handmaids will announce
her undying presence within
her seven-pillared house
Gifts of gold lie undisturbed
at her open door
Give until nothing's left then
wish to give more
Her words ring out all too clearly
in your ears
Until all else disappears
in a never ending night
she shines like boundless light
Though she calls quietly
know she'll take it all
It's alright it's all I need
Heaven up above waiting all the time
for you to make the age old climb
but sliding down takes no time

Gifts of gold lie undisturbed
at her open door
Give until nothing's left then
wish to give more
Her words ring out all too clear

Hers is the love for which rivers flow
men fall from ladders to the ground below
