Unite

Fifty-six hours from parting
Fifty-six hours untying the umbilical cord

Two days, no more
Two days from seeing you before

Seven years and one half from meeting
Seven years and one hell repeating

Mornings of madness
Daydreams of sadness

Days within secrecy
Nights without sorcery

Faith searches for forgiveness
Futile in any other guise
