| [02:21.15] |
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land |
| [02:26.22] |
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky: |
| [02:31.21] |
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers, |
| [02:35.58] |
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking |
| [02:41.26] |
|
| [02:45.59] |
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise |
| [02:50.64] |
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise |
| [02:56.07] |
He's chained forever to a world that's departed |
| [03:00.48] |
It's not enough, it's not enough |
| [03:04.69] |
|
| [03:30.82] |
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright |
| [03:35.86] |
His knees have trembled & given way in the night |
| [03:40.43] |
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth |
| [03:45.90] |
His step has faltered |
| [03:49.76] |
|
| [03:56.02] |
One world, one soul |
| [04:05.46] |
Time pass, the river rolls |
| [04:15.52] |
|
| [05:15.42] |
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication |
| [05:20.57] |
And silent replies that swirl invitation |
| [05:24.90] |
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea |
| [05:30.49] |
A grim intimation of what is to be |
| [05:35.05] |
|
| [05:39.52] |
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night |
| [05:45.49] |
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight |
| [05:50.23] |
And silence that speaks so much louder than words, |
| [05:55.18] |
Of promises broken |
