lyrics

It was a long and silent cry
She spoke before she died
I never true knew why
I even tried
Then just ivory lips she left
To speak the words of the dead
And this was what she said, fast losing sight

When the heart does cease to beat
How long must the mind survive?
For only seconds split
Until the night
Or do agony hours ensue
To follow the light inside of you
Until it’s sudden through
Into the blue

It was a long and drawn-out sigh
I breathed before I died
I never true knew why
She even tried

Then just empty eyes I left
To see the world of the dead
As quietly she fled, out of my sight
