|
I see your grave in a field of stars, |
|
And my darkness is revealing |
|
A face of masks, |
|
A graven heart, |
|
Tear it apart, |
|
I see your face |
|
In a plaintive light |
|
And my silence is confessing, |
|
To buried truth, the cult of youth, |
|
Gentile and cruel, |
|
If you give yourself |
|
To a life of dreams |
|
You will find that you are reeling, |
|
Nightmares will be born, |
|
Nightmares have been borne, |
|
If you give yourself |
|
To a life complete |
|
You will find that you are dreaming, |
|
Nightmares have been borne, |
|
Nightmares must be born, |
|
And lo, it's the night of the soul, |
|
You keep turning and turning |
|
To the edge of the world, |
|
So low, the light of the soul, |
|
You keep burning and burning |
|
Until the end of the world, |
|
Is this destiny calling again, |
|
Mourning again, mourning again? |
|
I see you march in a field of green, |
|
Holy land of gloom and sorrow, |
|
The song sublime, the death divine, |
|
All clash with the times, |
|
But here inside |
|
Where all secrets hide, |
|
I can see your arches rising, |
|
In green decay and ashen grey, |
|
Broken away |
