Darkness Was My Name

by Rosa Lavenne

about

This song was written, recorded and produced entirely by myself. I hope you enjoy!

lyrics

We loved in a time and place
Gone but never erased
Fire could crack a holy stone in two
Water could mould its rugged edges smooth

So I cast my lonely piece
Into the howling sea
My palms were covered in thick blood
That’s what holding onto lost love does

But curse the rain
For washing off my pain
Penance is gained
But darkness was my name

But once every blue moon
A memory comes to
Drop a single sweet and venom kiss
On my red and lonesome lips

A fluttering of its wings
Causes the air to sing
Sing some forgotten ancient tune
A tune that I would only sing for you

But curse the rain
For washing off my pain
Penance is gained
But darkness was my name

Curse the rain
For washing off my pain
Penance is gained
But darkness was my name

Penance is gained
But darkness was my name
