Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor Lyrics
Half way through the wheat, my golden foeWith his itching ears in the scorching heat.The weight of summer, torment to my handsArmed with a sickle I am out for his beguiling glance.Thought I heared a mare neighing from the creekWhere in every hour spared we anxiously would meet.Drunken whispers noone could hear'til the day when hordes of waspsPoisoned every hour so passed.She was faint as I when she spoke to me.Reluctantly. Words came throughWords of leaving here and leaving me.And her eyes grew bigger thenBound in moonlit glittering.She Leaned to me and whispered tears into my ear.Well, I went to see the creek againAnd many a day I'd stand at its shoreline wonderingIf it might be heading northThrough the timber, passed the lake and our chaletshould have gone with her, should have gone with me.But I stayed when she begged meto come with her, never to separate, never to be alone.And lept silent when I should have sung the song of heartAnd remained loyal to the thief.There is a road that I must travelMay it be paved or unseenMay I be hindered by a thousand stonesStill onward I'd crawl down on my kneesAt sudden swallows took upon the sceneHeralding what I could not have foreseena threat of rain on the dark horizonA strong foreboding of a storm arising.And willows'd roar, midges dazzledbirches sigh from painful lessonslessons they'd learned in lifethat every stem breaks if bent too far.Will I run for a shelter and quiver ?Will I run away, be idle and shiver ?And thunders pound so hard, pound the drums of warfareHungry clouds draw closer with reptile teeth as lightning
