Opeth "April Ethereal" |
It was me, peering through the looking glass Beyond the embrace of Christ Like the secret face within the tapestry Like a bird of prey over the crest And she was swathed in sorrow, as if born within its mask Her candlelight snuffed, the icon smiled *Emptiness followed in her wake I could clasp her in undying love Within ghostlike rapture the final word was mine She faced me in awe, 'twas a token of ebony colour Embodied in faint vapour Wandering through April's fire Compelled to grasp and to hold the one that was you I will endure, hide away I will outrun the sky, glaring with failure It is a mere destiny I thought, a threshold I had crossed before The rain was waving goodbye and when the night came the forest folded its branches around me Something passed by and I went into a dream She, laughing and weeping at once, said: take me away I don't know how or why and I'll never know When Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
