lyrics

Stay with me love, you're not breathing
But I can feel your heart still beating
And even though I can't stop the bleeding
I'm not leaving you

I will pull you through
I can't live without you

I hold you in my hands, swear I will not let you down
You slip through my fingers like sand; my throat cannot produce a sound
To call an angel down
Still I will hold you close no matter what threats surround
And I will not give up hope; I know my voice will be found
To call an angel down

To call an angel down

Stay with me love, you're not breathing
But I can feel your heart still beating
And even though I can't stop the bleeding
I promise that I'm not leaving you

I will pull you through
I can't live without you

I watched you fall, so welcomed by the ground
I know the danger involved in staying close to you now
To call an angel down
But, darling, where could I go if I gave into the doubt?
I will not leave you alone; my bones will break before my vow
To call an angel down

To call an angel down

Hell is now upon us, I fear, my dear
But I will not leave you here

I know someone told me to let you go
But I won't
Though I know all that I risk if I don't
I know someone told me to let you go
But I won't
I'd take hell over heaven just to keep you close

I know someone told me to let you go
But I won't

Bastion: Original Soundtrack
by Darren Korb

I'm a big fan of videogame soundtracks and this is one of my favorites. It's an excellent blend of traditional instruments and electronic groove with a few gorgeous vocal tracks for good measure. The Lighthouse Keeper

Our Sky, Becoming The Void
by A Flooded Skyline

This album caught my attention because the guy behind it did everything himself the same way I do, but it held it because it's a great instrumental work with a terrific mix of styles and dynamics. The Lighthouse Keeper
