Lyrics

[01:54.99] A closing sanctuary in this shimmering night;
[02:03.37] so tired, so restless under an ominous light
[02:11.43] I found myself in thoughts of dying,
[02:15.68] Shivered in bitter dismay
[02:19.93] I see you there; and I wonder why
[02:22.46]
[02:24.20] the silence does not break
[02:27.03]
[02:32.83] Away, please turn away. In my dreams you haunt me still.
[02:40.27] Come, please come my way.In my life I need you still.
[02:47.46] The morrow-winds shall blow no more
[03:04.83] So many pale moons ago;
[03:12.71] A flower of death did grow
[03:25.19]
[03:39.76] A closing sanctuary in this shimmering night;
[03:48.13] so tired, so restless under an ominous light
[03:56.06] You found yourself in thoughts of dying,
[04:00.38] shivering in bitter dismay,
[04:04.57] I see you there; and I wonder why
[04:08.26] the silence does not break
[04:13.08]
[04:13.89] Away, you turned away.
[04:21.46] In my dreams you haunt me still.
[04:24.02] Come, please come my way.
[04:25.71] In my life I need you still.
[04:30.52]
[04:32.34] To blossom in the deepest of black,
[04:49.77] And thus we die to flower again
[05:01.71] "I keep your memory near my heart,
[05:28.45] My brilliant, beautiful guiding Star,
[05:33.08] Till long life over, I too depart
[05:37.27] To the infinite night where perhaps you are."
[05:43.78]
[05:51.90] A rapture through the dirty glass,
[05:59.77] cutting myself to behold another spring
[06:09.46]
[06:24.84] So I became the exile, unable to love,
[06:32.15] smiling at Death and unite with my solitude
[06:37.40] to finally turn the blooded page
[06:44.52]
[07:00.49] I pray these tears will end soon,
[07:05.12] but you just left me lying here
[07:09.74] I wasn't ready for the world...
[07:13.24] still, I was thrown in there
