I stare Dark portrait Looms in the hallway Speaks of this passage
Its meaning I have weighed More of late Through hours of somnolence
Features elaborate They glow With meagre radiance
My leisure in pretense Resembles The dread they obfuscate
Indeed The dread writhes on I sense I am but all alone
In ghostlike movement I turn away again Never letting them get too close and inquiring Absolved of guilt while weeping quietly A place for repose since youth Take refuge 'twixt sheets of shade and dew Where poetries and theories of hell Are all laid bare in lucid grace
Feeble am I Beneath the guise Wanting nothing But this pain to last
The garden rests 'Neath a nightly gleam Beckoning, welcoming
Here I can berth Listen to the words Buried for centuries
Wear the mask of Janus Wishing to govern time Keep the gates locked in wait
Vagrancy of mind The promise of musing Lets me fare by land and sea Yet no lanterns there for me
Free from the contested Libertine in darkness
Residence of flesh The route of choosing Has me bracing for distress Knowing I will have solace
Then forever able In an earthly cradle
Soon the cold will come here Swirling, burning caress Wake me from my slumber Persuade where I falter
Though draconian years have pined Hurt stays my bread and wine Escapades of vain delight Soothe not like tears sublime
Make this scar a coat of arms Keepsake from battles past Wisdom gathered from the rage Gave me calm, built me space Leads me back in dialogue With the voice in the hall
Its meaning I have weighed More of late Through hours of somnolence
Figures communicate Tell of a rueful revenant
My labour in honour Will wear out And force me to the ground
Oh, dread The dread is mine I know I am but all alone
In ghostlike movement I turn away again Never letting them get too close and inquiring Absolved of guilt while weeping quietly A place for repose since youth Take refuge 'twixt sheets of shade and dew Where poetries and theories of hell Are all laid bare in lucid grace
Je puis me persuader D'avoir été fait tel par la nature Que je puisse aisément me tromper Même dans les choses que je crois comprendre Avec le plus d'évidence et de certitude (René Descartes - Méditations Métaphysiques)
Dogs of war Chased day and night Bloodlust drove the nails of spite
Will I ever forget Is there any way Any way at all Any way at all Any way at all Any way at all Is there any way Will I ever forget
Soon the cold will come here Swirling, burning caress Wake me from my slumber Persuade where I falter
Though draconian years have pined Hurt stays my bread and wine Escapades of vain delight Soothe not like tears sublime
Make this scar a coat of arms Keepsake from battles past Wisdom gathered from the rage Gave me calm, built me space Leads me back in dialogue With the voice in the hallTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
