In the Lilac Dusk Lyrics

In the lilac dusk it comes
Under silver stars and a glowing crimson moon
Weaving through the dark cold rain
In this slanted mist, I reach upward in rigid pain

My light it burns out slowly
As my frozen voice echoes in silence
Shadows move across these skies
Over this hollow world, motionless I raise my eyes

Born is my burden, stinging with this grief
Aching in silence, no words that bring relief
A semblance of warmth, never to be found
I whisper to the earth, but I stand on hollow ground

Under my darkened veil
Still lies my silver crown
I grip with these hands so frail
But still I can’t seem to hold it down
Buried under my darkened veil
Still lies my silver crown
Waves rise and crash around me
In this loneliness I drown

These shores are silent, calved in eternal black
The sky is swollen with rain, shaken from fleeting light
The serpent's parting words
Hang with gloom in my weary head
Ghost-like clouds descend
As I brood with sombre eyes

Under my darkened veil
Still lies my silver crown
I grip with these hands so frail
But I still can’t seem to hold it down
Buried under my darkened veil
Still lies my silver crown
Waves rise and crash around me
In this loneliness I drown

Words fall without a sound and
I know the purity of my despair
The shining silence of scorn cuts through
As this world dissolves around me
I stand here cold and shivering
In this cloud of secret despair…

And this moment clung to me
With it’s heavy cloak of dread…
