Volucrine - At the Cycle's End

Trapped in the sickroom bed
Light burns my eyes
Painkillers I've been fed
Blurred the fact underlined
I barely know my name
Or identify this face
Commemorating the days of grace
While the machines still keep me wide awake

Time abandoned me on the edge of immortality
I was too busy cursing life that seemed so unfair to me

There was only you
The only love I ever knew
So soon you have slept away and left me this way

Earth blooms new life even when we're gone
Though you're a minute away from breathing
Waves they wash the shores on and on
Even if your heart stops beating
Lay down your sword and let this burden go
Cycles that you can't control
All will be over before you even know it

Sometimes when I am awake
I dream of summers crimson nights
And of the color in her emerald eyes
But as I stroke in my sleep
And wet all my sheets
Everything turns black again

Shut down the old engine and let me sleep
Time has come to leave this place behind
