Anathema
Album • 1993
I hear your voice It sings so softly Curious to join in A harmony to breathe forevermore Joyous the one to hear a voice In fields where grass grows tall Golden carpets swell and whisper Autumn trees will weep Immune to pity, I've grown used to grief The eternal tear reciprocates In fields where grass grows tall Golden carpets swell and whisper Autumn trees will weep Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh In bleak misery, the lifeless lie in squandor Love has left me, fleed from me Fragrant lust waits beside and dies Like flowers that wilt without refreshment In midday sun I sit and bide time Adorning me, a lovelorn rhapsody

In each others arms We cried together And your tears tasted sweet All is not lost And never to be forgotten Like a shiver down my spine The lonely nights keep falling And I still want you All is not lost And never to be forgotten She's passed away but dreaming Her soul's awake and screaming The weeping willow is weeping And beneath our hearts ... ... all joy is sleeping our bliss is carried away ... sweet tears

All tears restrained for years Their grief is confined Which destroys my mind An ode to their plight is this dirge Some yearn for lugubrious silence (It is the) serenity in the image of coffins Shall life renew these bodies of a truth? All death will he annul, all tears assuage? Fill the void veins of life, again with youth And wash with an immortal water, age They Die ... (they will always die)

And I often sigh I often wonder why I'm still here and I still cry And I often cry I often spill a tear Over those not here But still they are so near Please ease my burden And I still remember A memory and I weep In my broken sleep The scars they cut so deep Please ease my burden Please ease my pain Surely without war there would be no loss Hence no mourning, no grief, no pain, no misery No sleepless nights missing the dead ... Oh, no more No more war

With loving passion, oh your radiance A serenade I cry Your silk lined coffin the lachrymatory To hold a mourner's tears Ethereal splendor Pale skin and down cast eyes Scent of paradise Like her, forever remains unknown Through tear stained eyes My view is growing weaker Please help my grief be vanquished Thy bed of roses, funereal drapery Impale my on your thorns Celestial splendor Pale skin and down cast eyes Farewell autumn kisses Like her, forever remains unknown I loved her... but now she's gone (It's so hard to face) Overcoming... tender reckoning If I too depart this earth I harmony to (our) heaven we'll elope Heavenly grace with which to ease The virgin's tears

Oh, ready to un- Let's go The shadows dance; The culprits fall The cold brings shadows; (They) dance and fall
