On the Veiled Road
I fall down, down into sleep
Where, near death, dismal spectres roam
With a heavy heart, calmed by despair
I peer deep, deep into the gloom
I see this strange place, when, like in death, I awake
I draw breaths of sweet, sickly air
And cast my eyes along this veiled road
There I walk in the desolation
A pallbearer for long passed days
In this strange and obscure place
A despondent land of lonely ruin
I see weary and weeping faces
And hear my own decaying voice
"My heart is breaking
So when my time comes
Please lay me down in the water
And let me drift away"
A crowd is there on a wind-swept shore
They're staring out to sea
With the tide I depart
In cold grey seas beneath the stars
With the bleak land so far away... I'm gone
Slumbering thoughts bring waking lies
From sad phantoms of the past
Who excavate shadows
But set my heart at rest
Where, near death, dismal spectres roam
With a heavy heart, calmed by despair
I peer deep, deep into the gloom
I see this strange place, when, like in death, I awake
I draw breaths of sweet, sickly air
And cast my eyes along this veiled road
There I walk in the desolation
A pallbearer for long passed days
In this strange and obscure place
A despondent land of lonely ruin
I see weary and weeping faces
And hear my own decaying voice
"My heart is breaking
So when my time comes
Please lay me down in the water
And let me drift away"
A crowd is there on a wind-swept shore
They're staring out to sea
With the tide I depart
In cold grey seas beneath the stars
With the bleak land so far away... I'm gone
Slumbering thoughts bring waking lies
From sad phantoms of the past
Who excavate shadows
But set my heart at rest
