I hear your voice
It sings so softly Curious to join in A harmony to breathe forevermore Joyous the one to hear a voice In fields where grass grows tall Golden carpets swell and whisper Autumn trees will weep Immune to pity, I've grown used to grief The eternal tear reciprocates In fields where grass grows tall Golden carpets swell and whisper Autumn trees will weep Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh In bleak misery, the lifeless lie in squander Love has left me, fled from me Fragrant lust waits beside and dies Like flowers that wilt without refreshment In midday sun I sit and bide time Adorning me, a lovelorn rhapsody 02. Sweet Tears Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema Lyrics by Darren White
In each others arms
We cried together And your tears tasted sweet All is not lost And never to be forgotten Like a shiver down my spine The lonely nights keep falling And I still want you All is not lost And never to be forgotten She's passed away but dreaming Her soul's awake and screaming The weeping willow is weeping And beneath our hearts ... ... all joy is sleeping Our bliss is carried away ... sweet tears 03. J'ai Fait Une Promesse Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema Lyrics by Darren White
The way that the willow bows over the stream
Like a mourner crying for their loved one Reminds me of last fall When on one knee, I pledged myself to you *** Là, vois, le saule s'incline dessus du ruisseau, comme une personne qui se descend, criant pour l'amant. Me rappelle d'automne, presse dans ton reverence, je m'ai engagee a vous... 04. They (Will Always) Die Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema Lyrics by Darren White
All tears restrained for years
Their grief is confined Which destroys my mind An ode to their plight is this dirge Some yearn for lugubrious silence (It is the) serenity in the image of coffins Shall life renew these bodies of a truth? All death will he annul, all tears assuage? Fill the void veins of life, again with youth And wash with an immortal water, age They Die ... (they will always die) 05. Sleepless Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema Lyrics by Darren White
And I often sigh
I often wonder why I'm still here and I still cry And I often cry I often spill a tear Over those not here But still they are so near Please ease my burden And I still remember A memory and I weep In my broken sleep The scars they cut so deep Please ease my burden Please ease my pain Surely without war there would be no loss Hence no mourning, no grief, no pain, no misery No sleepless nights missing the dead ... Oh, no more No more war 06. Sleep In Sanity Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema Lyrics by Darren White
It is not I who sleeps
It is you who sleeps ... You sleep Insane you sleep, I sleep in sanity 07. Scars Of The Old Stream Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema
[Instrumental]
08. Under A Veil (Of Black Lace) Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema Lyrics by Darren White
With loving passion, oh your radiance
A serenade I cry Your silk lined coffin the lachrymatory To hold a mourner's tears Ethereal splendour Pale skin and down cast eyes Scent of paradise Like her, forever remains unknown Through tear stained eyes My view is growing weaker Please help my grief be vanquished Thy bed of roses, funereal drapery Impale my on your thorns Celestial splendour Pale skin and down cast eyes Farewell autumn kisses Like her, forever remains unknown I loved her ... but now she's gone (It's so hard to face) Overcoming ... tender reckoning If I too depart the earth I harmony to (our) heaven we'll elope Heavenly grace with which to ease The virgin's tears 09. Where Shadows Dance Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema
[Instrumental]
10. Eternal Rise Of The Sun Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema Lyrics by Darren White
An unstoppable end
The world turns every day An ending with no end So, for this time of morning I can no longer cry Even though the story goes on The script is being written Start shape our destiny We are the bible... Believe in angels, they believe in you Oh, spread your wings, there is more than this darkness Open your eyes, the horizon has no end You can see forever, you can know all time You can live forever... Every dusk can blind, as a sunrise on a day Every sunset there is, lifts the eternal sunrise And the sunrise ends when the sun dies... And every ending has an eternal beginning... We are the bible... 11. Nailed To The Cross / 666 Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema Lyrics by Darren White
Your souls are nailed to the cross
The blood still runs But the wounds will heal And leave scars of rememberance 12. Dreaming: The Romance Music by Daniel Cavanagh, Anathema
[Instrumental]
