[02:21.150] |
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land |
[02:26.220] |
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky: |
[02:31.210] |
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers, |
[02:35.580] |
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking |
[02:41.260] |
|
[02:45.590] |
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise |
[02:50.640] |
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise |
[02:56.070] |
He's chained forever to a world that's departed |
[03:00.480] |
It's not enough, it's not enough |
[03:04.690] |
|
[03:30.820] |
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright |
[03:35.860] |
His knees have trembled & given way in the night |
[03:40.430] |
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth |
[03:45.900] |
His step has faltered |
[03:49.760] |
|
[03:56.020] |
One world, one soul |
[04:05.460] |
Time pass, the river rolls |
[04:15.520] |
|
[05:15.420] |
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication |
[05:20.570] |
And silent replies that swirl invitation |
[05:24.900] |
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea |
[05:30.490] |
A grim intimation of what is to be |
[05:35.050] |
|
[05:39.520] |
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night |
[05:45.490] |
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight |
[05:50.230] |
And silence that speaks so much louder than words, |
[05:55.180] |
Of promises broken |
[06:00.410] |
|
