about

For the 10th Anniversary of 'Sonnet 33.As' we have resurrected and reimagined the song while still honoring the original. We are so proud to say we have a song that has stood with us for a decade. Much has changed these past years but we are still here, haunting the same woods, creating. Thank you to those of you who have been with us this past decade. Thank you to the spirits of Arsenic past who helped set us on the path we walk today. We release this song on the Winter Solstice of 2022 - 'May the rebirth of the sun bestow upon us it's blessings of light, cast us not into darkness on this longest night'. May your Yuletide be Merry, and a Happy New Year.

lyrics

Cold this heart has grown,
brittle are these bones.
Drawing warmth from stone,
no longer alone.
Now I lay thee down to sleep,
sleep my sweet,
and I pray my love
your soul to keep.
Dawn breaks through,
forsake,
stealing breath, awake,
and for your kiss I ache.
Time stands still,
I wait for dusk's dark embrace.
Within the night, fate,
the dream that we create.

Oh my love to be or not to be,
no question without your breath upon me.
What is life but madness without thee,
am I to live if you cannot be free?
Free to live and still love me.

Now I lay me down
Down to sleep,
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake,
pray the lord my soul to take,
take me.

Oh, not to be without your breath in me,
am I to live if you cannot be free?
Free to live and love me.

Oh my love to be or not to be,
no question without your breath upon me
I am to die if you cannot be free,
free to live,
free to love
and die with me.
