Angelica
Where are you tonight?
Wild flower in starlit heaven
Still enchanted in flight
Obsessions lament to freedom
A timeless word, the meanings changed
But I'm still burning in your flames,
Incessant, lustral mmasquerade,
Unengaged, dilit love didn't taste the same
And I still wonder if you ever wonder the same
And I still wonder...
The Beloved
Another day unfolds, still I exist
Never felt so cold, I never knew I was turning away
Though I can't explain, I only love you now that your missed
As I stand in the rain, leave me to go through this
I don't think I could face another sleepless night
If only I could trace that elusive light
In a dreammland flight to your agonizing eyes
A never ending flight, my silent cries
Still I close my eyes and my mind becomes clear
Still I dream, and there you are...
How still you lie and how your eyes bring back the fear
Still I can't facen what's going on in here...
Everything that I've evet felt has gone,
At last my spirit breathes
I see no point in going on
So goodbye... It's time for me to leave
Eternity Part I
As I turn away from a life so grey,
Where have all the flowers gone?
Just what went wrong?
Innocence, insanity, irony
Stone cold reality
Oh lord come and save me
Do you think we're forever?
I've been in tears
Hope has dies in me
But now I'mm here, I don't wish to leave
Trapped in time
A miracle of hope and change
A swirling mass, no mercy now
If the truth hurts prepare for pain
Do you think we're forever?
The unseen, the eternal river of understanding
Persevering, dying escape
Forever tempting fate
Take me back
A flood of tears bonding my soul with my mind
A dream of love, reality closing in behind
As I close my eyes, the vision dies
As I bid my last farewell to mankind
The unseen, the eternal...
Eternity Part II
Destiny, Infinity, Eternity
Hope
(Originally by Roy Harper)
"I was not put here by anyone in fear
I came alone as me, just an idea
in a long chain of discovery
Surrounded by the same, you.
Sometimes your type pulls me out to see
and I die in a thrashing curse.
Sometimes we are kind
More often, [adonis]
So far up the beach that those who try to reach out
burned alive in the searing heat of the desert of my dispassion
So far removed, I never hear the water
except once or twice a month when I see a mirror
And I refuse to believe in some of the things that are
said to be here let alone those that are not
I'm trying to change my direction
Ours is pathetic, in my own, humble, estimation
I love the planet, the great benign she-wolf [manufacture]
Spinning gently on towards the red giant for aeons hence
When all the rosegardens are consumed in the flashfire of flying time
She will [leave alone too]"
When you look at me
From your own century
I may seem to be
Strange archeology
But when the winds blow
From this direction
You may sense me there
In your reflection
I think I feel you
But I will never know
As the swallows leave
And the children grow
I wanted to live forever
The same is you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
When I caught you there
In tomorrows mirror
I thought felt you
Jump out of my skin
Throwing oil into
My blazing memories
Filling empty footsteps
I was standing in
I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
As the falling rain
Of the northern jungle
Hanging droplets on the leaves
Bombards my brain
I hear you
Across the room
A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
You are the mist
The frost across my window pane
And again
She moves her body
And her whispers weave
And the world spins
And tells me that I'll never want to leave
As I think of you
From this dark century
I will always be
With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearing
That we're not just
Spirits disappearing
Suicide Veil
A sacrifice in the flight of dawn
The beauty of twisted reality
In my heart, my dreams
A sacrifice for freedom
Alone in the grace of the dark
The pains of a failed generation
I longed for the death of the sun
Another glorious revelation
Destiny's plan for ruin
I danced with the shadows
In tranquil chaos, I lay naked in the rain
An interception of light
A disturbing memory
This suicide veil I wear in shame
Radiance
Inside...
The dark is fading away
I don't want to be alone anymore
Inside...
The light of dawn is here once more
The light...
Darkness is slipping away
Of dawn...
I don't want to be alone
Is here...
Won't you stay?
Not a word passed your lips
Just a golden kiss
As I whispered silently
"Help me through this"
Far Away
One common, subterranean destination
One life, another day
A vestal child unveiled by temptation
Innocence slips away
Far away
Been down so long
Too deep the water that I tread
Sometimes I feel myself going under
Sometimes I envy the dead
So take me far away
Eternity Part III
So little time
Your crystal eyes gaze into mine
A burning flame
Forever dreaing, dreaming a lie
Trapped inside internal eyes
Caressed by innocence, a sanctuary for your mind
Born alone beneath pale sardonic skies
One love, one life, one sorrow
I won't reproach myself this time
A condemned mman, granted a sweet reprieve
A turn of fate, a genial twist of the knife
Undying affection for life
Cries On The Wind
Reaching out...
How things look different on the way down
Disillusioned, I've lost desire
Will I burn in the unforgiving fire?
From the flames, I walk away
I've found a way to erase the pain
An empty bottle, my receptacle
A guardian angel called escape
Don't dwell on the forthcoming
As I know it won't be happening
And you know, when I'm gone
You'll hear my cries on the wind

Finally, the new CD of Anathema. They have gone through quite some change since "The Silent Enigma". The most obvious one is that Vinny doesn't use his grunts / screams anymore, just his normal singing voice. The rest of the music has gotten a bit more relaxed too. Sometimes it even sounds a lot like Pink Floyd. But the music still has the atmosphere of Anathema, and after I listened to this cd a couple of times I found it's really quite good.
