Like Blood Shaped Flakes of Snow Lyrics


In the dust of dim entangled silence

Minutes wane in delirium, sleepy opium

Like time falling away

Like time falling away

Woe are they, come what may

Woe are we, come & see

Woe are they, come what may

Woe are we, come & see

A clinging shroud of sleep, wrapped around memories

You may yearn for graves of peace, desolate cemeteries

but try living there alone with your sorrows

Bonds of death between two eternities, past tomorrows

That silently swing between forever and no more

& here i lie in shades of yesternights shadows

Between the words half uttered, nameless words half heard

Moaning tears of streams above, forever in time interred

The shore is far, out of reach like yonder distant star

The joys we taste, may tomorrow turn to woe

& we bury our smiles with the sleeping dust below

The dawn will never come the sky cannot hold a stone

A hollow fallen tear I am

In Letheian seas drifting

Drowsy & cold my spirit falls

Spinning, whirling, twisting

I am the idle nothing

The forlorn withering snow

A seed lost under a fallen rock

Where no flowers can grow

Death is but a path to tread

To lay alone in a darkly box

With splintery clusters of pine & clod

To sleep with worms & slowly rot

Like blood shaped flakes of snow melting into nothing

Like blood shaped flakes of snow melting into nothing

Melting, melting into nothingness

Melting, melting into nothingness

I am the forgotten breath

Nothing in the unseen, nothing in the bloodless drifting shrouds

To wander bankless streams of mist

Nothing in the unseen, nothing in the bloodless drifting shrouds

Melting into nothingness, melting into nothingness

Melting into nothingness, melting into nothingness
