Pain Of Salvation - Lilium Cruentus Lyrics
Music, lyric and arrangements by Daniel GildenlöwA Scene in Brown and Yellow:At first I don't know why your presence fills me with uneaseThough I've missed you more than Life itselfI freezeIt's like you've been lost and now you're glad to see my faceBut as you sit down my confusion turns to distressNot knowing how to let you know that you areDead(I wake up sweating)They tell me you are better offWhere you are nowWell, I don't careThey tell me that your pain is goneWhere you are nowWell, you left it hereSee, I need to be strongNeed to be braveI need to put faith in somethingHow could I live onNot hoping we will meetAgain?A Scene in White and Grey:Under the icon's weight the old thoughts layUnder the cross so still and paleThe flowers usher the stale breath of Death awayAnd someone tries to singBut the bird of song has lost its wingsNow it twitchesRips the stitches of a chest where tears are tornAnd where all loss beginsLife seems too small when Death takes its tollI need something to blame for this painA Scene in Amber - Flawed:And have you ever had that dreamWhere one you love passes away?And you wake up crying to a worldWhere she's long since goneBut you feel the painSo closeAs if she'd died todayBut I need to be strongI need to be braveI need to put faith in somethingHow could I live onNot hoping we will meetAgainSome day?Earth to Earth, Dust to DustA verse we know too wellLike a nursery rhymeJust in reverse'Cause we are all the little tin manWith hearts like little tin cansAnd as we line them down with tearsOver the yearsThey inevitably turnTo rustLife seems too small when Death takes its tollI need something to blame for this painI try, I fail, I fall, like anyone you knowI break, I bleed, like anyone you knowA Scene in Blood on White:Where the linen's changed just for tonightAnd somehow we beat her to this sightThis ghostly room of ExitThat she enters by the flicker of candle lightAnd in her breastA desert storm is taking formAn old thirst that can never be quenched or killedSweeps over the coldBroken but thousandfold"My Love!"
