Lyrics:

'Let me die', I cried as the curtain fell and I stared in woe at the world before me My weeping eyes could not bear to tell or the shattered kingdom in ruins before me What became of the lands that were? A pearl in the nest of memories Forever gone...departed by the minds of man Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood Parasites of life, with my heart I condemn your ignorant ways Like the leaves of the high trees I wither and fall, Borne by autumnal winds to my funeral hall I'm all alone in the grip of the silent sadness I have been told to honour life and what therein I'll find but if all I see is darkness, let me die and wake up blind As the gleaming blade before me, singing lullabies of loss Whispering 'Death is your redeemer to the Paradise you've lost' Mankind, evoker of inferno Let me burn your honoured Crown of Creation and dethrone you to ashes for aeons to come Why should I stay here where I do not belong? Of weakness burns my within...And empty shell I've lost the way to the sanctity I need I'll greet the dawn that brings no life, no frail beams of sun to cleanse the black night My mournful roam has ended I hide in the shadows white binding my time, sheltered from this world which disorderly rhyme with the fury of damnation Once I held in my hand the starlight of Eden and the white sky lay open in a soul that was free (But the years flew so fast as the shadows were cast and I woke up one morning with no reason to be) I'm all alone in the shade of the nameless Sorrow I'm all alone within a shadowfire of fear Take me home to whence I came-acapo
