In the lilac dusk it comes

Under silver stars and a glowing crimson moon

Weaving through the dark cold rain

In this slanted mist, I reach upward in rigid pain

My light it burns out slowly

As my frozen voice echoes in silence

Shadows move across these skies

Over this hollow world, motionless I raise my eyes

Born is my burden, stinging with this grief

Aching in silence, no words that bring relief

A semblance of warmth, never to be found

I whisper to the earth, but I stand on hollow ground

Under my darkened veil

Still lies my silver crown

I grip with these hands so frail

But still I can’t seem to hold it down

Buried under my darkened veil

Still lies my silver crown

Waves rise and crash around me

In this loneliness I drown

These shores are silent, calved in eternal black

The sky is swollen with rain, shaken from fleeting light

The serpent's parting words

Hang with gloom in my weary head

Ghost-like clouds descend

As I brood with sombre eyes

Under my darkened veil

Still lies my silver crown

I grip with these hands so frail

But I still can’t seem to hold it down

Buried under my darkened veil

Still lies my silver crown

Waves rise and crash around me

In this loneliness I drown

Words fall without a sound and

I know the purity of my despair

The shining silence of scorn cuts through

As this world dissolves around me

I stand here cold and shivering

In this cloud of secret despair…

And this moment clung to me

With it’s heavy cloak of dread…
