Из альбома: Opus IV Oblivion

Soul-bearer guide me above this mindless life,
above the willow and the wading trees,
over perceived horrors, over blinding faiths,
to find my waking hour
uncaged and free.
Raven-wings carry me forth
to feel the blades of grass once more
that in life failed to grow.
Hold the flowers that withered in sorrow,
breathless, embraced,
in ivy thorns upon the barrow.
The way goes ever on past the stream and wandering star,
under mountains of old deceit,
over white seeds sown in winter.
Bent, distorted, twisted, and old,
led through dead-end roads till we’re cold.
Even if some endure and search an awakening,
like caged birds they yearn scented gardens in spring,
to break away from the delirium,
to open their eyes, even if late is the hour.
Like from a dream, it wakes their soul.
The dead move quick and silent
over great barren seas.
Only the dead can see them —
portraits of life.
Grey but vibrant are they,
Breathless but full of life.
They’ve reached the summit
and their wake is complete.
The dream, the illusion of life,
that has gone past its time.
My eyes are peered to see,
my mind has been set free.
The final fate is sealed for I’m not blinded.
And my wake is complete!
