Anathema - Hope Lyrics
I was not put here by anyone in fearI came alone as meJust an idea in a long chain of discoverySurrounded by the same youSometimes your tide pulls me out to seaAnd I die in a thrashing curseSometimes we are kindMore often, I dozeSo far up the beach that those who try to reach are burntalive in the searing heat of the desert of my dispassionSo far removed, I never hear the water'Cept once or twice a month when I see a mirrorAnd I refuse to believe in some of the things that are said to be hereLet alone those that are notI'm trying to change my directionOurs is pathetic in my own humble estimationI love the planetThe great benign she-wolfBenefactorSpinning gently on towards the red giant four aeons henceWhen all the rose gardens are consumed in the flash-fire of flying timeShe'll leave alone to youWhen you look at meFrom your own centuryI may seem to beStrange archeologyBut when the winds blowFrom this directionYou may sense me thereIn your reflectionI think I feel youBut I will never knowAs the swallows leaveAnd the children growI wanted to live foreverThe same is you will tooI wanted to live foreverAnd everybody knewWhen I caught you thereIn tomorrows mirrorI thought felt youJump out of my skinThrowing oil intoMy blazing memoriesFilling empty footstepsI was standing inI wanted to live foreverThe same as you will tooI wanted to live foreverAnd everybody knewAs the falling rainOf the northern jungleHanging droplets on the leavesBombards my brainI hear youAcross the roomA sea of daffodils spring into bloomYou are the mistThe frost across my window paneAnd againShe moves her bodyAnd her whispers weaveAnd the world spinsAnd tells me that I'll never want to leaveAs I think of youFrom this dark centuryI will always beWith generosityThat we both may shareThe hope in hearingThat we're not justSpirits disappearing
