Enveloped (RAPTURE Cover) Lyrics

here we are 
together in this darkness 
enveloped in the 
deepest shade of black 
connected through this misery 
lingering in the air 
lingering in the air 

the burden of goodbye 
a heavy ringing in my ear 
it's a silent reminder 
an afterthought of sorts 

bad dreams, hollow sleep 
of dark rooms, empty homes 
and things without names 
memories of murder 
the shades that fell 
the shades that fell 

i wouldn't prefer to answer 
the question 
the last quiet cord 
to be severed 
nothing to take with you 
nothing left for you to keep 

the music is over, there's no-one here 
it's snowing heavily 
i can't even see my breath escaping 
never to return 

the burden of goodbye 
a heavy ringing in my ear 
it's a silent reminder 
an afterthought of sorts 

an afterthought of sorts 

"I lingered around them, 
under that benign sky; 
watched the moths fluttering 
among the heath of harebells; 
listened to the soft wind 
breathing through the grass; 
and wondered how anyone 
could ever imagine unquiet slumbers 
for the sleepers in that quiet earth." 
[Emily Bronte (1818-1848)]
