Clouds of defiance Over mankind they gently weep On this verge I collapse While god stays sound asleep
Losing the balance I’m losing the hold of it all Make these trembling ghosts Not chase me anymore
Stars shine brighter Yet heavy lies the crown Distant still clutching In the blackness of it all And the candle burns out As I touch your heart For treading the footsteps Of many sorrows passed
And I yearn for the sun to set For the curtain to fall This is all I am All I have
Fallen from luster To nothingness and scorn So fall dark veil Softly through the morn A haunted, starless sky Fragile and oh so deep The dying softly wakes And smiles in painless peace
Fallen from luster To nothingness and scorn So fall dark veil Softly through the morn And the drumless beat It dissolves into the mire But you are sleeping And a vacuum to my fire
And I yearn for the sun to set For the curtain to fall This is all I am All I have
Fallen from luster From nothingness and scorn So fall dark veil Softly through the morn A haunted, starless sky Fragile and oh so deep The dying softly wakes And smiles in painless peace
