Appeared like a flash in spring, I couldn't get a hold of you - With swift feet, like a fearie of summer You slipped through the bonds of my affection Withered leaves are falling, winter is calling Gone forever The secrets that I do not know Gone forever Expectations were too high Your eyes are gazing at the wilderness Burnt offerings Running through immaculate hands Red fingernails clawing for the dust Burnt offerings Violent winds take the ashes to the sea Will you remember me? A last kiss in a bleak wintry night, all golden visions overcast Whispered words like a litany of death Gone forever The secrets that I do not know Gone forever Expectations were too high Your eyes are gazing at the wilderness Burnt offerings Running through immaculate hands Red fingernails clawing for the dust Burnt offerings Violent winds take the ashes to the sea Will you remember me? All hope put to an end Nothing left to defend The flowers of spring will bloom again But we won't meet again
