[taken from _Skydancer_, re-recorded with new vocals][Henriksson, Sundin]Let me die, I cried as the curtain felland I stared in woe at the world before meMy weeping eyes could not bear to tellor the shattered kingdom in ruins before meWhat became of the lands that were?A pearl in the nest of memoriesForever gone... departed by the minds of manScavengers, feeding on your mother's bloodParasites of life, with my heart I condemnyour ignorant waysLike the leaves of the high treesI wither and fall,Borne by autumnal windsto my funeral hallI'm all alone in the grip of the silent sadnessI have been told to honour lifeand what therein I'll find,but if all I see is darkness,let me die and wake up blindAs the gleaming blade before me,singing lullabies of lossWhispering Death is your redeemerto the Paradise you've lostMankind, evoker of infernoLet me burn your honoured Crown of Creationand dethrone you to ashes for aeons to comeWhy should I stay here where I do not belong?Of weakness burns my within... An empty shellI've lost the way to the sanctity I needI'll greet the dawn that brings no life,no frail beams of sun to cleanse the black nightMy mournful roam has endedI hide in the shadows while biding my time,sheltered from this world which disorderly rhymewith the fury of damnationOnce I held in my hand the starlight of Edenand the white sky lay open in a soul that was free(But the years flew so fast as the shadows were castand I woke up one morning with no reason to be)I'm all alone in the shade of the nameless SorrowI'm all alone within a shadowfire of fearTake me home to whence I cameWhere I'll find light to feed my flame of lifeOr my heart will die without a whisper of hope...
