Song | To Our Ashes |
Artist | Agathodaimon |
Album | Phoenix |
It is the mind, which creates the world about us | |
And even though we stand side by side | |
My eyes will never see what is beheld by yours | |
My heart won’t respond to your touch | |
segment i: | |
Out of the caverns of the pain | |
Like a child from the womb, stillborn | |
Like a ghost from the tomb | |
I arise and unbuild it again | |
segment ii: | |
We don’t see things as they are | |
We see them as we are | |
And all that we see or seem to be | |
Is but a dream within a dream | |
I see life blurred and shallow every day by day | |
In this world’s theater in which I stay | |
Three Death gently descends, from spheres up high | |
Staring into my cold and humid eyes | |
You’re closing your eyes, try turning your head | |
Away from the gloom, trying to forget | |
But when I start to laugh, she mocks | |
And when I cry she laughs... | |
And hardens evermore her heart | |
But when I start to laugh, she mocks | |
And when I cry she laughs... | |
All things come to the those who wait | |
I say these words to make me glad | |
But something answers, soft and sad | |
They come... but often come too late | |
repeat segment ii | |
There Death gently descends, from spheres up high | |
Staring into my cold and humid eyes | |
You’re closing your eyes, try turning your head | |
Away from the gloom, trying to forget | |
But something answers, soft and sad | |
They come... but often come too late | |
Cause I am sick of this way of life | |
As life is sick of the way we pretend | |
But I have walked with Death hand in hand | |
And Death's own hand is warmer than my own! | |
repeat both segments | |
All things come to those who wait | |
I say these words to make me glad | |
But something answers, soft and sad | |
They come... but often come too late |
It is the mind, which creates the world about us | |
And even though we stand side by side | |
My eyes will never see what is beheld by yours | |
My heart won' t respond to your touch | |
