From the recording All That Lies Beneath
Writing this song helped me through a life-altering loss. My hope is that it might help someone else deal with the pain of losing a loved one.
Lyrics
The Passing by dk black
The passing, the passing
In the blink of an eye everything is still, dark breathless void that was so long filled
They’ll tell you love’s claimed another victim
But love’s not the traitor portrayed in song, they say that love hurts
but I know they’re wrong
Love only gives, love only shines it’s not the loving it’s the letting go
The passing, the passing
Compelled by a force that we can’t deny those who were two become intertwined feeding the heart feeding the soul
But love can fall pray to twists of chance and alter forever the lover’s dance
Silent as breath creeps up from behind and in a moment’s passing everything has changed
The passing…I always needed more
The passing…of what I couldn’t have
Hold my hand won’t you, see me through the darkness
Sing to me songs I once knew
Touch my face gently, prove there’s still tenderness
Tell me this pain will subside
When all I’ve believed in has died
In the blink of an eye everything is still, dark breathless void that was so long filled
They’ll tell you love’s claimed another victim
But love’s not the traitor portrayed in song, they say that love hurts
but I know they’re wrong
Love only gives, love only shines it’s not the loving it’s the letting go
The passing, the passing
