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 squander
Love has left me, fled 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
2. Sweet Tears
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
3. J'ai Fait Une Promesse
La voie, le saule s'incline dessus du ruisseau, Comme une personne qui se descend criant pour l'amant. La voie le saule s'incline dessus du ruisseau, Comme une personne qui se descend criant pour l'amant. Me rapelle d'automne précedente, en révérence, Je m'ai engagé, je m'ai engagé, je m'ai engagé à vous Je m'ai engagé, je m'ai engagé, I plegded myself to you.
[English translation:]
The way the willow leans over the brook Like a person dropping down, crying for his lover The way the willow leans over the brook Like a person dropping down, crying for his lover Reminds me of last autumn when, bowing down, I pledged myself, I pledged myself, I pledged myself to you. I pledged myself, I pledged myself, I pledged myself to you.
4. They (Will Always) Die
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 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
5. Sleepless
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
6. Sleep In Sanity
It is not I who sleeps It is you who sleeps... you sleep
Insane you sleep, I sleep in sanity
7. Scars Of The Old Stream
We are scars of the old stream Trailing away from the hills where we once lived.
8. Under A Veil (Of Black Lace)
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
9. Where Shadows Dance
Oh, ready to un- Let's go.
The shadows dance; The culprits fall. The cold brings shadows; (They) dance and fall.
