Anathema : Resonance 2
歌词
1. LOVELORN RHAPSODY
I hear your voice
It sings so softly
Curious to join in
A harmony to breathe forevermore
Joyous the one to hear a voice
In fields where grass grows tall
Golden carpets swell and whisper
Autumn trees will weep
Immune to pity, I've grown used to grief
The eternal tear reciprocates
In fields where grass grows tall
Golden carpets swell and whisper
Autumn trees will weep
Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh
In bleak misery, the lifeless lie in squandor
Love has left me, fleed from me
Fragrant lust waits beside and dies
Like flowers that wilt without refreshment
In midday sun I sit and bide time
Adorning me, a lovelorn rhapsody
2. SWEET TEARS
In each others arms
We cried together
And your tears tasted sweet
All is not lost
And never to be forgotten
Like a shiver down my spine
The lonely nights keep falling
And I still want you
All is not lost
And never to be forgotten
She's passed away but dreaming
Her soul's awake and screaming
The weeping willow is weeping
And beneath our hearts...
.. All joy is sleeping
Our bliss is carried away... sweet tears
3. SLEEPLESS '96
And I often sigh
I often wonder why
I'm still here and I still cry
And I often cry
I often spill a tear
Over those not here
But still they are so near
Please ease my burden
And I still remember
A memory and I weep
In my broken sleep
The scars they cut so deep
Please ease my burden
Please ease my pain
Surely without war there would be no loss
Hence no mourning, no grief, no pain, no misery
No sleepless nights missing the dead... Oh, no more
No more war
4. ETERNAL RISE OF THE SUN
An unstoppable end
The world turns every day
An ending with no end
So, for this time of morning
I can no longer cry
Even though the story goes on
The script is being written
Start shape our destiny
We are the bible...
Believe in angels, they believe in you
Oh, spread your wings, there is more than this darkness
Open your eyes, the horizon has no end
You can see forever, you can know all time
You can live forever...
Every dusk can blind, as a sunrise on a day
Every sunset there is, lifts the eternal sunrise
And the sunrise ends when the sun dies...
And every ending has an eternal beginning...
We are the bible...
5. SUNSET OF AGE
Throne of grief
In a dying essence
Crying beauty
The fettered aura
Forgotten oceans of hope
... Betrayed aphony
Sullen laughter in unventured paradise
(as one) forever searching
For landscapes serene
Amidst the sunset of age
With joyous masquerade...
The summers died
6. NOCTURNAL EMISSION
My passion rise... a twilight ride
Stark light of dark night in my eyes
My forlorn lust...
My soul it burns
My forlorn lust...
My soul is burning
Take you now, in my sleep
I want to touch you, to scratch you deep
To leave you scarred...
To see you burn
To leave you scarred...
To see you burning
7. A DYING WISH
I bear the seed of ruin
A golden age turned to stone
Elysium... To dust
For this, a tragic journey
A vision of a dying embrace
Scattered earth
Silence...
Where Echonia wept
I sank into the silent desert
Fallen am I,
In solitude of a broken promise
I cried alone
My empyrean is a scar
From the memory of her beautiful life
Forever was her name
Fulfilment lost in a lifetime of regret
Ornate peace would cover me
As I would die now...
For one last wish
8. HOPE
When you look at me
From your own century
I may seem to be
Strange archeology
But when the winds blow
From this direction
You may sense me there
In your reflection
I think I feel you
But I will never know
As the swallows leave
And the children grow
I wanted to live forever
The same is you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
When I caught you there
In tomorrows mirror
I thought felt you
Jump out of my skin
Throwing oil into
My blazing memories
Filling empty footsteps
I was standing in
I wanted to live forever
The same as you will too
I wanted to live forever
And everybody knew
As the falling rain
Of the northern jungle
Hanging droplets on the leaves
Bombards my brain
I hear you
Across the room
A sea of daffodils spring into bloom
You are the mist
The frost across my window pane
And again
She moves her body
And her whispers weave
And the world spins
And tells me that I'll never want to leave
As I think of you
From this dark century
I will always be
With generosity
That we both may share
The hope in hearing
That we're not just
Spirits disappearing
9. CRIES IN THE WIND
Reaching out...
How things look different on the way down
Disillusioned, I've lost desire
Will I burn in the unforgiving fire?
From the flames, I walk away
I've found a way to erase the pain
An empty bottle, my receptacle
A guardian angel called escape
Don't dwell on the forthcoming
As I know it won't be happening
And you know, when I'm gone
You'll hear my cries on the wind
10. FRAGILE DREAMS
Tonight your soul sleeps, but one day you will feel real pain,
maybe then you will see mee as I am,
A fragile wreck on a storm of emotion"
Countless times I trusted you,
I let you back in,
Knowing... Yearning... you know
I should have run... but I stayed
Maybe I always knew,
My fragile dreams would be broken for you.
Today I introduced myself,
To my own feelings,
In silent agony, after all these years,
They spoke to me... after all these years
Maybe I always knew...
11. EMPTY
Empty vessel under the sun wipe the dust
From my face another morning black sunday
Coming down again empty vessel empty veins
Empty bottle wish for rain that pain again
Wash the blood off my face the pulse from
My brain and i feel that pain again
I'm looking over my shoulder cos millions
Will whisper im killing myself again maybe
I'm dying faster but nothing ever last i
Remember a night from my past when i was
Stabbed in the back and its all coming
Back and i feel that pain again
I abhor you i condemn you cos this pain
Will never end you got away without a
Scratch and now youre walking on a lucky
Path i have to laugh but youd better watch
your back
Theres pathetic opposition theyre the
Cause of my condition i'll be coming back
For them ive a solution for this sad
Situation nothing left but to kill myself
Again because i'm so empty
12. NAILED TO THE CROSS / 666
Your souls are nailed to the cross
The blood still runs
But the wounds will heal
And leave scars of rememberance.
13. MINE YOURS
