[Verse 1]
In the name of desperation
I call your name
A lamentation I sigh
Again and again
[Verse 2]
Spiritual eclipse
The gateways are closed for me to seek
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
The night
In the night a veil of stars, watching
My shadow is born from light
The light of the eye, in darkness, ahh, hu, ah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper
[Verse 5]
I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
[Verse 6]
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Eyes attach to your mute portrait
We spoke only through thoughts
Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst and the rising sun
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 7]
Sun birds leave their dark recesses
Shadows gild the archways
[Verse 8]
Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my loneliness
You are in a forest unknown, the secret orchard
And your voice is vast and achromatic but still so precious
[Verse 9]
Lullaby of the crescent moon took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face
[Verse 10]
Granted you a hollow stare
Another soul within the divine herd
[Verse 11]
I have kept it the amaranth symbol
Hidden inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice
In the meadow of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish
[Interlude]
Black rose immortal
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 12]
It is getting dark again
Dusk shuffle across the fields
The evening trees moan
As if they knew, oh
At night I always dream of you
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Ahh
