Dark Tranquility - In Tears Bereaved Lyrics
Beautiful, oh web of starsThat looms amid the sons of earthEnfolds me in thine sylvan armsThat unitys vehement charmsBefalls a weary son of earthBeautiful, in tears bereavedIn sylphlike sadness, left to bleedBewailed upon a bed of thorns,Impaled, a heart, on sorrows hornsA seekers ode to thee I readMy tearful soul thy mourning heedThe stream that leaves thine open wounds;A life-blood licked by hungry houndsNo verdant balm to soothe our woundsWherefore betwixt two worlds Im tornEre thralled by sin Ill die - forlornThis slumbering world of shallow foolsMay one day clasp the cosmic hellLest journeymen by earthen rulesBring forth the truth for which angels fellTo the earth and sky and seaI call that thou may answer me;Father of nature, of beast and mankind,My soul for thy love, my tears for thy pain...an eden in fire,What lives shant remainFor when I live under a different sky,Beneath the ethereal hills the clouds passing byRemember the time of which I cried to be partRemember these words, for they have flownFrom my heart.
