7_ a treacherous ascent (the final passage part 1)

8_ so far away, so close (the final passage part 2)

9_ pause for the lost, the dead, and the forgotten (the final passage part 3)

10_ rest, the night is still, calm (the final passage part 4)

11_ [tr]averse, a cross, the divide (the final passage part 5)

lyrics:

friend, I'm so glad you stopped by
are you ok?
are you alright?
i see the distance in your eyes,
you look tired
know i'd do anything for you
to help you feel the warmth, and
find the light
come over here and
be with me
come inside

float away from the hurt
fall into my body
release yourself into my arms
we'll let the hours slip further
i'll be your refuge awhile
i'll mind every breath you whisper
as you rest quiet
so lay your head, and
close your eyes

the air is crisp
the hours are late
the rest of the world has
long ago expired
i don't know what the morning will hold, 
but you're
safe tonight
