[taken from _Skydancer_, re-recorded with new vocals]
2
[Henriksson, Sundin]
3
"Let me die", I cried as the curtain fell
4
and I stared in woe at the world before me
5
My weeping eyes could not bear to tell
6
or the shattered kingdom in ruins before me
7
What became of the lands that were?
8
A pearl in the nest of memories
9
Forever gone... departed by the minds of man
10
Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood
11
Parasites of life, with my heart I condemn
12
your ignorant ways
13
Like the leaves of the high trees
14
I wither and fall,
15
Borne by autumnal winds
16
to my funeral hall
17
I'm all alone in the grip of the silent sadness
18
I have been told to honour life
19
and what therein I'll find,
20
but if all I see is darkness,
21
let me die and wake up blind
22
As the gleaming blade before me,
23
singing lullabies of loss
24
Whispering "Death is your redeemer
25
to the Paradise you've lost"
26
Mankind, evoker of inferno
27
Let me burn your honoured Crown of Creation
28
and dethrone you to ashes for aeons to come
29
Why should I stay here where I do not belong?
30
Of weakness burns my within... An empty shell
31
I've lost the way to the sanctity I need
32
I'll greet the dawn that brings no life,
33
no frail beams of sun to cleanse the black night
34
My mournful roam has ended
35
I hide in the shadows while biding my time,
36
sheltered from this world which disorderly rhyme
37
with the fury of damnation
38
Once I held in my hand the starlight of Eden
39
and the white sky lay open in a soul that was free
40
(But the years flew so fast as the shadows were cast
41
and I woke up one morning with no reason to be)
42
I'm all alone in the shade of the nameless Sorrow
43
I'm all alone within a shadowfire of fear
44
Take me home to whence I came
45
Where I'll find light to feed my flame of life
46
Or my heart will die without a whisper of hope...
