Anathema - THE SILENT ENIGMA lyrics

In dreamland grandeur

I held mesmerised peace

Innocence breathed again

A mind's escape

Leave walls of tears behind

Ethereal vision haunting still .....

The solitude left me blind

Beneath an open sky

Sibilant cries of youth dying

Enslave me with grief

A moonlit era, oblivion's twilight kiss

Wishes in lament

Happiness in a broken vision

Utopia still unborn .....

Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden

I longed for her beauty

Yet from dust, she returned

The dream, an enigma ..... silent
