Anathema - SHROUD OF FROST lyrics

Undying odyssey..... a myriad of times

The soul has seen

Through eyes of heaven

The imperium of earth

Nothing left to perceive

Help me to escape from this excistence

I yearn for an answer..... van you help me?

I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams

In sommolent illusion..... I'm paralysed

Infinity distraction.....

A pious human disorder

Blind to passage of souls

Conclusion from one remembrance

Help me to escape.....

Transfixed..... I gaze through my window at a world lying under a shroud of frost

In a forlorn stupor I feel the burning of staring eyes, yet no-one is here

Detached from this reality, in the knowing of dreams,

we know the entity of ensuing agony waits to clasp us in it cold breast, in an empty room

We awake and it's true

I dreamt of the sun's demise

awoke to a bleak morning

In the emptyness i beheld fate

for the dead ligth is a foretelling of what will be.....

I saw a soul drift from life

through death

and arrive at Elysian Fields in welcoming song

Yet i stand in a dusk-filled room

depondently watching the passing of a kindret spirit.....

and there is no song......

just a delusion of silence.....
