Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
Morn came and went--and came, and brought me no day,
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of their desolation
To free the hollow heart from paining -
They stood aloof, the scars remaining.
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder;
But neither heat, nor frost, nor thunder,
And life is thorny; and youth is vain;
Work like madness in the brain;
And if forever, even though, never
Silence of that dreamless sleep. i envy now too much to weep
For deliverance for the pride once i had
God i pleased you but everything has just turned to sand
Hear that the voices begging inside of my head
God forgive me if true faith doesn´t lie within my heart
Shivering scrap'd with their cold skeleton hands
The feeble ashes, and their feeble breath
Blew for a little life
Mad disquietude on the dull sky,
The pall of a past world; and then again
With curses cast them down
Upon the dust,
To free the hollow heart from paining -
They stood aloof, the scars re maining.
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder;
But neither heat, nor frost, nor thunder,
And life is thorny; and youth is vain;
Work like madness in the brain;
And if for ever, even though, never
Silence of that dreamless sleep. i envy now too much to weep
For deliverance for the pride once i had
God i pleased you but everything has turned to sand
Hear that the voices begging inside of my head
God forgive me if true faith doesn´t lie within my heart
As aught of mortal birth; too soon return'd to earth!
So i behold them not: like common earth can rot;
Must fall the earliest prey; the leaves must drop away:
For deliverance for the pride once i had
God i pleased you but everything has turned to sand
Hear that the voices begging inside of my head
God forgive me if true faith doesn´t lie within my heart
