A Shadow of Memories (Instrumental)
<i>When each remembered rapture murmurs<br/> This is when she lied<br/> Yet even doubt is by some doubt denied<br/> This is when she lied<br/> <br/> Now the madness comes down like a flood<br/> Poisoning the honest currents of my blood<br/> <br/> Is this desire, love, of this madness most<br/> That aches in me to know<br/> That aches in me to know…<br/> That you are lost?</i>

Blow thou winter winds<br/> Let it worry the gods<br/> Shape the blackest day<br/> And lay your eyes on the way<br/> <br/> The blue of your valleys<br/> How I breathe into you<br/> The blue of your valleys<br/> I pray for something true<br/> <br/> In the depths of your fears<br/> I know you can’t hear me<br/> In silence play the fools<br/> But my soul belongs to you<br/> <br/> She’s waiting to drown<br/> She’s waiting to drown you<br/> <br/> Where can I rest<br/> When so many speak so loudly<br/> Where can I dwell<br/> When all has been taken from me<br/> Where can I be lonely<br/> <br/> She’s waiting to drown<br/> The tides of her soul<br/> She’s waiting to drown<br/> She’s waiting for you<br/> <br/> I know there’s a heaven, I know<br/> I know there’s a shore<br/> I’ve tasted its colour<br/> Without the will of wanting more<br/> I’ve tread the paths of the winds unchanged<br/> For so many fights were to no avail<br/> <br/> If now looking for a hand<br/> With no hope of being saved<br/> <br/> Dare, o you dare<br/> To whisper to me<br/> <br/> This is how it was meant to be

Our soul’s sorrows seek us most with dawn<br/> Crawling through dirtied windows<br/> Longing to be known and felt<br/> But your ever somber trail of thoughts<br/> Rescue will never easily be taught<br/> <br/> If only our healing tears<br/> Could ease the weight of memories<br/> <br/> <i>The same old ghostly haunting of your eyes<br/> And the old poisonous mist of memories<br/> <br/> Rises about me, and the old desire<br/> Quickens along my veins in sharper fire<br/> O! I am lost, you will not set me free<br/> Unless I turn again, and seek the sea<br/> Some vague new world of waters, bounded by<br/> The soft and sudden barrier of the sky</i>

You say you're breaking my heart<br/> I say break it all<br/> I say you breathe in you breathe out <br/> But this has to go out<br/> <br/> I say I only need to feel free<br/> But here is no release<br/> You say every end has a start<br/> And fear will fall apart<br/> <br/> Like birds toward an open sky<br/> Who reach their purpose well<br/> The softened moonlight for our <br/> Broken hopes to dwell<br/> <br/> You'll wonder where we'll all go<br/> Us with wounds is all we know<br/> And the gifts we were given<br/> Back to the swarm of a distant heaven

This riddle won’t dissolve<br/> For the maze is too dense<br/> but what’s there more to solve<br/> when a mind loses sense<br/> <br/> Lost in time, in space<br/> there goes my lost defense<br/> what faded yesterday<br/> praises again a last romance<br/> <br/> Let it last stirring sea<br/> one more drink is for my fears<br/> Let is last stirring sea<br/> Seven suns will rise with thee<br/> Let is last stirring sea<br/> One more drink is for my tears<br/> Let is last stirring sea<br/> Seven suns will rise with thee<br/> <br/> <i>He who has entered by this sorrow’s door<br/> Is neither dead nor living any more<br/> Nothing can touch me now, except the cold<br/> Of whitening years that slowly make youth old<br/> <br/> Hunger, that makes the body faint, one thought<br/> That ends all memory for the future, nought<br/> My future ended yesterday, I have<br/> Only a past, on this side of the grave<br/> <br/> Nothing can touch me now, except the cold<br/> Of whitening years that slowly make youth old</i>

In those mysterious jewels of your eyes<br/> Wrought with vain truths, and wrought with vainer lies<br/> When passion made me wizard, I have read<br/> And turned away, blind with exceeding dread<br/> I never knew you; you could give your whole<br/> Heart’s life, but not the silence of your soul<br/> <br/> I never knew you when you loved me most<br/> And now that you are the unquiet ghost<br/> Part of the very element of fire<br/> A breath, a flame, a shadow of desire

<i>Out of another world you come to me<br/> And hollow, hollow, hollow as the tomb<br/> Sound the indifferent words that speak my doom<br/> <br/> And hollow, hollow, hollow can it be<br/> <br/> My voice that sounds so strangely in my ears<br/> You bid me speak, and I, in dumb despair<br/> Forgetting all my agonies of prayer<br/> <br/> Beckon to you across a mist of tears<br/> <br/> All’s over now I know that you are lost<br/> And love is dead, for I have met Love’s ghost</i>
