Be'Lakor - The Dream And The Waking Lyrics
Silent but distant,Real but not seenHere but not happening,Forever has beenInto this absence,Two had but strayedRetracing in circles,They surrendered, dismayedBehind them, darknessAhead, the unknownSo they stood, uninvited... But the roots had grownAn error, a tangentA curious mindAn instant, a lifetimeA secret to findThe dream and the wakingOccurring togetherRealising, thenThat it mattered not whetherImagined movementsNear shimmering websThe Nightfall descendedTo rest by their headsTheir feet planted firmly'Neath four darting eyesWith pupils dilated,They counted the sighsTheir legs fading intoA curding mossTheir lungs slowly fillingWith decades of lossThat scent form the forestNot taking, not givingThey knew only this —Not buried, not livingTheir stagnating veinsNow hidden from viewIn skin for the willowAnd bone for the dewThe dream and the wakingEnding togetherUnderstanding thenIt had not mattered, ever
