The Halcyon Days

(Album: Triptych - 1999)

Alone, left here in dust
Amidst my fears and doubts
Life's shattered dreams
I could have done without

Now chthonic life has set its sights on
Making me a slave to its ways
I wait for return
'Til then my soul—it burns
And it burns only for you

I'll be with you soon
I'll be with you soon

Night. It falls on me endlessly
I search for you in this blindness
A prodigy of lust and loss
'Til sleep comes down
Sleep comes down

I can't explain
But disdain remains
Some treason
I can't reason

They left me here
For dead, my dear
Barely breathing
But I'm still breathing

And I'll be with you soon

And I see a light
I think it's shining from above
I think they've finally come
The halcyon days

I'm crawling now up
Towards the sound
Of vengeance moving swiftly
I've conquered fear
I've shed my tears
Now I'm seething, and I'm still breathing

And I'll be with you soon

And I see a light
I think it's shining from above
I think they've finally come
The halcyon days

And I see a light
I think it's shining from above
I think they've finally come
The halcyon days
