Lethian Dreams
A Shadow of Memories
1. Never Be Found
When each remembered rapture murmurs
This is when she lied
Yet even doubt is by some doubt denied
This is when she lied
Now the madness comes down like a flood
Poisoning the honest currents of my blood
Is this desire, love, of this madness most
That aches in me to know
That aches in me to know…
That you are lost?
2. Tidal
Blow thou winter winds
Let it worry the gods
Shape the blackest day
And lay your eyes on the way
The blue of your valleys
How I breathe into you
The blue of your valleys
I pray for something true
In the depths of your fears
I know you can’t hear me
In silence play the fools
But my soul belongs to you
She’s waiting to drown
She’s waiting to drown you
Where can I rest
When so many speak so loudly
Where can I dwell
When all has been taken from me
Where can I be lonely
She’s waiting to drown
The tides of her soul
She’s waiting to drown
She’s waiting for you
I know there’s a heaven, I know
I know there’s a shore
I’ve tasted its colour
Without the will of wanting more
I’ve tread the paths of the winds unchanged
For so many fights were to no avail
If now looking for a hand
With no hope of being saved
Dare, o you dare
To whisper to me
This is how it was meant to be
3. Mist of Memories
Our soul’s sorrows seek us most with dawn
Crawling through dirtied windows
Longing to be known and felt
But your ever somber trail of thoughts
Rescue will never easily be taught
If only our healing tears
Could ease the weight of memories
The same old ghostly haunting of your eyes
And the old poisonous mist of memories
Rises about me, and the old desire
Quickens along my veins in sharper fire
O! I am lost, you will not set me free
Unless I turn again, and seek the sea
Some vague new world of waters, bounded by
The soft and sudden barrier of the sky
4. You Say
You say you're breaking my heart
I say break it all
I say you breathe in you breathe out
But this has to go out
I say I only need to feel free
But here is no release
You say every end has a start
And fear will fall apart
Like birds toward an open sky
Who reach their purpose well
The softened moonlight for our
Broken hopes to dwell
You'll wonder where we'll all go
Us with wounds is all we know
And the gifts we were given
Back to the swarm of a distant heaven
5. Only a Past
This riddle won’t dissolve
For the maze is too dense
but what’s there more to solve
when a mind loses sense
Lost in time, in space
there goes my lost defense
what faded yesterday
praises again a last romance
Let it last stirring sea
one more drink is for my fears
Let is last stirring sea
Seven suns will rise with thee
Let is last stirring sea
One more drink is for my tears
Let is last stirring sea
Seven suns will rise with thee
He who has entered by this sorrow’s door
Is neither dead nor living any more
Nothing can touch me now, except the cold
Of whitening years that slowly make youth old
Hunger, that makes the body faint, one thought
That ends all memory for the future, nought
My future ended yesterday, I have
Only a past, on this side of the grave
Nothing can touch me now, except the cold
Of whitening years that slowly make youth old
6. Your Silence
In those mysterious jewels of your eyes
Wrought with vain truths, and wrought with vainer lies
When passion made me wizard, I have read
And turned away, blind with exceeding dread
I never knew you; you could give your whole
Heart’s life, but not the silence of your soul
I never knew you when you loved me most
And now that you are the unquiet ghost
Part of the very element of fire
A breath, a flame, a shadow of desire
7. And Hollow
Out of another world you come to me
And hollow, hollow, hollow as the tomb
Sound the indifferent words that speak my doom
And hollow, hollow, hollow can it be
My voice that sounds so strangely in my ears
You bid me speak, and I, in dumb despair
Forgetting all my agonies of prayer
Beckon to you across a mist of tears
All’s over now I know that you are lost
And love is dead, for I have met Love’s ghost
