'The Embrace' is about reflecting on mistakes and accepting that love is strength.

lyrics

The Embrace

I'm just a fallen angel sinking in the dust, of my own disappointment and the loss of those I love
I can hear a voice calling asking me to atone for a sensitive disposition, a resistant heart alone
He was always self regrading absorbed by his fears, to deaf to hear the warning, to blind to see the tears
And looking from distance he fooled the world with charm with a smile like the taste of honey and a gaze that could make you cry.

Chorus
But love, oh love, love has it's own healing
And love, oh love, love has it's own grace
Yes love, my love, love has it's own healing
And love, my love, love has it's own grace.

At the door the voice is knocking asking me to come in, though I hoped that I was leaving once again to begin
In the end we failed each other our deep respect was lost, replaced by bitter seething not mindful of the cost
And the stains of love do linger they pool in your embrace, then they try again to enter the realm that lies beneath
Well my mind is full of sorrow for the things I didn’t do, for being unattentive not being there for you.

Again the voice beckons searching for a way, to break through his resistance to touch his soul again
Remember those who loved you, remember their faith and how you left that promise lying in the dirt
He was shocked into being as the silence made him feel and inside his heart longed for comfort and embrace
Now I can hear their calling, now I can feel their love, I'm just a fallen angel sinking in the dust.
