The Death of Hours

Lyrics for The Death of Hours

A closing sanctuary in this shimmering night So tired, so restless under an ominous light I found myself in thoughts of dying Shivering in bitter dismay I see you there and I wonder why The silence does not break (The silence does not break) (Shivering in bitter dismay) (I found myself in thoughts of dying) The morrow-winds Shall blow no more So many pale moons ago A flower of death did grow A closing sanctuary in this shimmering night So tired, so restless under an ominous light You find yourself in thoughts of dying Shivering in bitter dismay I see you there and I wonder why The silence does not break, break (A closing sanctuary) (Shivering in bitter dismay) (I found myself in thoughts of dying) To blossom in the deepest of black And thus we die to flower again "I keep your memory near my heart My brilliant, beautiful guiding Star Till long life over, I too depart To the infinite night where perhaps you are" A rupture through the dirty glass Cutting myself to behold another spring So I became the exile Unable to love Smiling at death and unite with my solitude To finally turn the blooded page I pray these tears will end soon But you just left me lying here I wasn't ready for the world Still, I was thrown in there
