Draconian
The Death Of Hours
[Lyrics by Anders Jacobsson and Erik Arvidsson]
A closing sanctuary in this shimmering night;
so tired, so restless under an ominous light
I found myself in thoughts of dying,
Shivered in bitter dismay
I see you there; and I wonder why
the silence does not break
Away, please turn away.
In my dreams you haunt me still.
Come, please come my way.
In my life I need you still.
The morrow-winds shall blow no more
So many pale moons ago;
A flower of death did grow
A closing sanctuary in this shimmering night;
so tired, so restless under an ominous light
You found yourself in thoughts of dying,
shivering in bitter dismay,
I see you there; and I wonder why
the silence does not break

Away, you turned away.
In my dreams you haunt me still.
Come, please come my way.
In my life I need you still.
To blossom in the deepest of black,
And thus we die to flower again
"I keep your memory near my heart,
My brilliant, beautiful guiding Star,
Till long life over, I too depart
To the infinite night where perhaps you are."
[Quote is taken from the poem "Unforgotten" by Lawrence Hope (1865-1904)]
A rapture through the dirty glass,
cutting myself to behold another spring
So I became the exile, unable to (sustain) love,
smiling at Death and unite with my solitude
to finally turn the blooded page
I pray these tears will end soon,
but you just left me lying here
I wasn't ready for the world...
still, I was thrown in there
