Black Waters Lyrics

We turn from the day full of the same dark winds.
They pass from the waters to the world from the voice of men.
And drove our share through flesh and bone.
and turned them under to mould and stone.

The twilight shades grow deeper into the sleepless night,
lost from their dream of life.

They pass from the waters to the world from the voice of men.

Come to the window, where begins the eternal note of sadness
Here even dreams ascend in smoke.

Gagged by the smothering wing which none unbinds.
I dreaded even a heaven with doors so chained.
There I watched for the dead.
Each life exiled but no ghost awoke.
There only stillness answering our cry.
Exercised in the still of night.

We turn from the day full of the same dark winds.
The twilight shades grow deeper into the sleepless night,
lost from their dream of life.
