|
"Let me die", I cried as the curtain fell |
|
and I stared in woe at the world before me |
|
My weeping eyes could not bear to tell |
|
or the shattered kingdom in ruins before me |
|
What became of the lands that were? |
|
A pearl in the nest of memories |
|
Forever gone... departed by the minds of man |
|
Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood |
|
Parasites of life, with my heart I condemn |
|
your ignorant ways |
|
Like the leaves of the high trees |
|
I wither and fall, |
|
Borne by autumnal winds |
|
to my funeral hall |
|
I'm all alone in the grip of the silent sadness |
|
I have been told to honour life |
|
and what therein I'll find |
|
but if all I see is darkness, |
|
let me die and wake up blind |
|
As the gleaming blade before me, |
|
singing lullabies of loss |
|
Whispering "Death is your redeemer |
|
to the Paradise you've lost" |
|
Mankind, evoker of inferno |
|
Let me burn your honoured Crown of Creation |
|
and dethrone you to ashes for aeons to come |
|
Why should I stay here where I do not belong? |
|
Of weakness burns my within... And empty shell |
|
I've lost the way to the sanctity I need |
|
I'll greet the dawn that brings no life, |
|
no frail beams of sun to cleanse the black night |
|
My mournful roam has ended |
|
I hide in the shadows white binding my time, |
|
sheltered from this world which disorderly rhyme |
|
with the fury of damnation |
|
Once I held in my hand the starlight of Eden |
|
and the white sky lay open in a soul that was free |
|
(But the years flew so fast as the shadows were cast |
|
and I woke up one morning with no reason to be) |
|
I'm all alone in the shade of the nameless |
|
Sorrow |
|
I'm all alone within a shadowfire of fear |
|
take me home to whence I came |
|
Where I'll find light to feed my flame of life |
|
Or my heart will die without a whisper of hope... |
