Lyrics
It was me, peering through the looking-glass Beyond the embrace of Christ Like the secret face within the tapestry Like a bird of prey over the crest And she was swathed in sorrow As if born within its mask
Her candlelight snuffed, the icon smiled Emptiness followed in her wake I could clasp her in undying love Ghostlike rapture the final word was mine
She faced me in awe
It was a token of ebony color Embodied in faint vapor Wandering through April's fire Compelled to grasp and to hold the one that was you
Compelled to grasp and to hold The one, that was you
I will endure, hide away I would outrun the scythe, glaring with failure It is a mere destiny I thought A threshold I had crossed before
The rain was waving goodbye And when the night came The forest folded its branches around me Something passed by, and I went into a dream She, laughing and weeping at once: "Take me away"
I don't know how or why And I'll never know when
