Lyrics for Song: April Ethereal
Lyrics for Album: My Arms, Your Hearse [1998]
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
Within ghostlike rapture the final word was mine
She faced me in awe, 'twas a token of ebony colour
Embodied in faint vapour
Wandering through April's fire
Compelled to grasp and to hold the one that was you
I will endure, hide away
I will outrun the sky, 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, said: take me away
I don't know how or why and I'll never know When
