Wraith / The Stage and the Meadow Lyrics


When no one can see

I’m there watching you

In your coffin and your cradle

I’ve been present, unseen

I’m a wraith, a witness

With intimate access

Emerging, falling

I’ve seen you, wrong or right

In deep chaos! In misery

In deep chaos! Fall

In deep chaos! Head of gold

In deep chaos! Crawling

I saw…you crawl…cry…sick

In fire…as Satanas…kings…fall

Kiss…endless…in fear…a haze

---

Peering through a dense mist

Which has blinded us, confused beasts

Revealing the function of life

Walking off the stage

To greater fields

Human affairs on the stage

From the meadow, what is seen

Looks so strange, out of place

A complete disharmony

Endless skies in the dead of night

Disconnected they are, from the play on the stage

Human affairs on the stage

From the meadow, what is seen

Looks so strange, out of place

A complete disharmony

The audience, squeezed and still

Expecting a thrill, to ratify their games

While deep in the forests

Surrounding the meadows

Lovers unite in shivering silence

Why are they always disrupted

By the agents of shadows?
