Select language to translate this lyric
It was me, peering through the looking-glass.
Beyond the embrace of Christ.
Like the secret face within the tapestry.
Like a bird of prey over the crest.
And she was swathed in sorrow,
As if born within its mask.
Her candlelight snuffed, the icon smiled.
Emptiness followed by her wake.
I could clasp her in undying love.
Within ghostlike rapture
The final word was mine.
She faced me in awe.
It was a token of ebony colour.
Embodied in faint vapour.
Wandering through April´s fire.
Compelled to grasp and to hold the one that was you.
I will endure, hide away.
I would outrun the scythe, glaring with failure.
It is a mere destiny I thought,
A threshold I had crossed before.
The rain was waving goodbye,
And when the night came
The forest folded its branches around me.
Something passed by, and I went into a dream.
She laughing and weeping at once:
take
me
away.
I don't know how or why,
I´ll never know When.
