He is sitting on a hill
A vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency
The demons forge hammers and nails

He will travel all the ways
That lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view
An amen in his due

He is gazing at the skies
Without yearning in his eyes
And he will follow the invisible trace
When the sirens sing again…

The spring is in the air, the silence in the skies
The wind is in his hair, the moon is in his eyes
The bats play on but he’ll be gone
Before the world has left the night

…the birds sing on but he has gone
Before the morning spreads its light

Long evenings full on longing
Low-spirited my mornings
Full of longing too my nights
And all times the bitterest.
‘tis my lovely i long for
It is my darling i miss
My black-browed one i grieve for.

There’s no hearing my treasure
No seeing my marten-breat
No hearing her in the lane
Driving below the window
Chopping the wood by the stack
Clinking outside the cook-house:

In the eart my berry lies
In the soil she’s mouldering
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my treasure
The one i grieve for.

Hold still
Don’t move i say
Wilt thou hear
My elegy

Head high
Preserve my pride
I shall defy the gallows

I and you and me
Well we just don’t know
What love can do

I
I pledge to you
That i won’t deceive
The heart that’s mine
As here i sit

I vow
Your history does not
Perish my love

The shame
Will be mine for a
Scarlet woman thou art

I and you and me
Well we just don’t know
What love can do

I
I pledge to you
That i won’t deceive
The heart that’s mine

Dead from the grave
We’re all slaves
To what we’ve got

Love
Is been through
The door
For days

did you ever see me or could you even see at all
i looked at your cold white face, so still, so empty
yet i knew you were at rest
much more comforted than i
what else could i find to replace who you were
it was the carefree unrestricted love that you never meant to give
you never had the choice
it was your innocence
it was part of who you were
it was the comfort of a friend

Please don’t look at me this way
I am from the same seed as you
Take me back to the womb
I am weary of this life

Don’t believe in my eyes
Don’t believe in my mind
Don’t believe in right or wrong
Don’t believe in cruel or kind

But all this talk is only poetry
Only as true as we would believe
We must live to fight the negative
Not to court the self in defeat oh oh oh oh
In defeat oh oh oh oh

Oh the pain of life is sweet
Is it wrong to long for death?
Must i cling to the thrills of life
Ash to ash and dust to dust

But all this talk is only poetry
Only as true as we would believe
We must live to fight the negative
Not court the self in defeat oh oh oh oh
In defeat oh oh oh oh

You have looked at me this way
We are all from the same seed
Take us forward through the tomb
There’s no finish to a life
