lyrics

Daylight dims in the wake of a vision
Temptation at peace with the spring
A liquid fate seeps from your breathing wounds
In the cutting edge of a dream

Naked and freezing now everyone knows
Sick and confused as the drapery falls

Crimson haze in the mist of her light
The sky enthralled with beauty
Eyes that meet at the coming of dawn
Feathers fall from your wings
Within seconds a whisper distracts you
And slowly relieves you from sleep

A part of your essence is cleansed
With a promise to be reborn

No sign of life yet life enshrines you
And you are still trying to heal
A taste on your lips so bitter and sweet
To fill up the void in between

Pale and forgotten now everyone knows
Cold and alone as the drapery falls

Heart pumping fast in the heat of her flame
The sky obscured by the rain
What came as a blessing was holding a curse
Resting upon your remains
Within moments the voice speaks again
Replacing your bliss with a grief

A part of your essence is cleansed
With a promise to be reborn

Life through death?

Death through life?

Who can really say?
