As the Ruin Falls Thrice

Only now that you have taught me
(but how late) - my lack
I see the chasm
And everything you are was making
My heart into a bridge
By which I might get back
From exile and grow man
And now the bridge is breaking

For this I bless you as the ruin falls, falls, falls
As the ruin falls, falls, falls
As the ruin falls

As the ruin falls
I bless you as the ruin falls
The pain you bring
Far greater than all other gain
