Anathema
Album • 1999
Feel my heart burning, deep inside, yearning. I know it is coming. A fettered heart, waking. A tainted youth, fading. Leave it all behind. Delirious again, mesmerise my senses. Souls entwine one more time. All our times will come, searching oblivion. Leaving nothing but the memories of all the things you give. They're all you'll leave behind, within their mind. Open laughter held in distant days. Eternal stars have changed. I know that it can't be the same. There's no lament for you tonight. Feel my heart burning, deep inside, yearning. I know it is coming. All our times will come, searching oblivion. Leaving nothing but the memories of all the things you give. They're all you'll leave behind, within their mind. Time recedes every day, but you can search your soul but you won't see. As we pass ever on and away towards some blank infinity.

Is it the emptiest of all your broken-hearted feelings? A serious misconception to choose a path that led to ruin. I live for today, can't get away from the burning inside. Ashes to ash, dust to dust. So quick to point the finger when you're the source of your condition. Why should I feel sympathy when you only show me nothing? I live for today, can't get away from the burning inside. Ashes to ash, dust to dust. I could stare for a thousand years, penetrate your deepest fears. Leave you cold with a faceless embrace, then disappear without a trace. I live for today, can't get away from the burning inside. Ashes to ash, dust to dust.

Hey, you rotting in your alcoholic shell. Banging on the walls of your intoxicated mind. Do you ever wonder why you were left alone? As your heart grew colder and finally turned to stone. Did I punish you for dreaming? Did I break your heart and leave you crying? Do you ever dream of escaping? Don't you ever dream of escaping? Pathetic oblivion. Forgotten hopes buried in your soul's lonely grave. Pathetic oblivion. Remember how you were before you locked your heart away. Did I punish you for dreaming? Did I break your heart and leave you crying? Do you ever dream of escaping? Don't you ever dream of escaping?

I know that I want you, I know that I need you. But I can't pretend that this'll make it right. You whisper your name, but I can't hear you. Don't leave me behind, lend me your hand. I can feel them, I think they're closing in. Don't leave me behind, lend me your hand. Let me feel you by my side. Be where I can hear you, I long to feel.

How I needed you. How I grieve now you're gone. In my dreams I see you, I awake so alone . I know you didn't want to leave, your heart yearned to stay. But the strength I always loved in you finally gave way. Somehow I knew you would leave me this way. Somehow I knew you could never, never stay. In the early morning light, after a silent peaceful night. You took my heart away and I grieve. In my dreams I can see you, I can tell you how I feel. In my dreams I can hold you and it feels so real. I still feel the pain. I still feel your love. I still feel the pain. I still feel your love. Somehow I knew you could never, never stay. Somehow I knew you would leave me. In the early morning light, after a silent peaceful night. You took my heart away. I wished, I wished you could have stayed.

I feel I know you. I don't know how. I don't know why. I see you feel for me. You cried with me. You would die for me. I know I need you. I want you to be free of all the pain you have inside. You cannot hide. I know you tried to be who you couldn't be. You tried to see inside of me. Now I'm leaving you. I don't want to go away from you. Please try to understand, take my hand. Be free of all the pain you hold inside. You cannot hide. I know you tried to feel.

(text in booklet - not sung, not spoken) Asleep is the rose, in tired innocence... dreaming time away. Secure in the comfort of slumbers faint embrace. Blissfully ignorant, unaware of the imminence... Recurring memories emerge from the deep... of old secrets unforgotten sleep. They sink beneath the surface just long enough for you to breathe. Then return to choke you when you wake up alone. Shredded inside... there's one place left to turn. A long-term problem, a temporary remedy, but fuck it all anyway you can pretend to be happy. So many years of pathetic lies, empty promises and unfulfilled dreams are scattered like dust into the winds. Looking for the sun that eclipsed behind black feathered wings. Tomorrow never comes, there was only ever one day... but now it's too late. (end) The inequity of fate, the pains of love and hate. The heart-sick memories that brought you to your knees. The times when we were young, when life seemed so long. Day after day, you burned it all away. All the hate that feeds our needs, all the sickness you conceive. All the horror you create will bring you to your knees. The times when we were young, when life seemed so long. Day after day, you burned it all away. You burned it all away. You burned it all away. You burned it all away. You burned it all away. You burned it all away. You burned it all away.

If I begin to feel lighter, hold me down, and I'll be yours forevermore. God bless this mess I'm in, for it is time to be rid of a certain sin. A cool breeze down my spine, and if I'm really here, then I feel fine. A freelance child, you bring it all back. This world is eating me inside. Don't look too far... Missing a degree of warmth, a name without a face. I'm losing grip all the same. I sever line that divides. I sever the feelings inside. I sever you and me. I want to learn to fly. Bring the pain right back again. Is this all there is of me? Hearts and minds, find the time that in the end, there was no possible reason for anything. Don't look too far...

Speak to me, for I have seen your waning smile. Your scars concealed. So far from home, do you know you're not alone? Sleep tonight, sweet summerlight. Scattered yesterdays, the past is far away. How fast time passed by, the transience of life. Those wasted moments won't return and we will never feel again. Beyond my dreams, ever with me. You flash before my eyes, a final fading sigh. But the sun will rise and tears will dry. Of all that is to come, the dream has just begun. Time is speeding by, the transience of life. Those wasted moments wont return and we will never feel again.

No one can find me, here in my soul. Kicking and screaming, out of control. Calm myself down now, nobody knows. No one can find me, here in my soul. Hooked on your problems, do I know why? If you come my way again, would I lend a hand? Would I understand? Lend a hand. Understand. No one can find me, here in my soul. Kicking and screaming, out of control. Calm myself down, nobody knows. No one can find me, here in my soul. Solitude was never, never seen as loneliness. Things need, they need time and time leads to other things. And playing roles Which are limited by the poor fund of knowledge. In this sick, sick world we all fall down. Once in a while, escaping the law of the unexplained pains. would I lend a hand? Would I understand? Understand.

No one seems to care anymore. I wander through this night all alone. No one feels the pain I have inside. Looking at this world through my eyes. No one really cares where I go. Searching to feel warmth forever more. The wheels of life they turn without me. Now you are gone eternally. No, don't leave me here. The dream carries on inside. I know it is not too late. Lost moments blown away tonight. Mankind, with your heresy. Can't you see that this is killing me? There's no one in this life to be here with me at my side.
