Lyrics The Memory Of Bleeding / Souls In Permafrost / Searching The Stars - While Heaven Wept

The Memory Of Bleeding / Souls In Permafrost / Searching The Stars

NEITHER TIME NOR TIDE CAN HEAL
A LOSS AS PROFOUND, AS SURREAL
THIS LIFELESS COLD IS ALL I FEEL
THEN ALL AT ONCE TO VANQUISH FROM LIGHT VIVIFIED
I WITNESSED THE STARS IN RAPTURE EXPLODE AND COLLIDE
THROUGH A HAZE OF MEMORIES BLEEDING INSIDE
The highest of hopes left impossible debts
Of darkness and pain and deeper regrets
Facing our future of paradise lost
Interred my soul in permafrost
Motionless oceans cease
With barriers of stone
Scarred by algid winds
Through centuries blown
Through centuries blown
A distance that cannot be bridged
Where only the dead have ever voyaged
Where spirits entwine in holocaust
You buried my heart in permafrost
A solitary prison
Wrought from anguish and ice
Confining ravaged hearts
No hope can excise
No hope can excise
A prisoner of ice
The sole survivor of this wreckage
A shattered spirit far beyond salvage
TRAVERSING THE NOTHINGNESS OF UNBROKEN NIGHT
SEARCHING THE STARS I STILL DREAM OF YOUR LIGHT
I REMEMBER THE OCEANS THAT RAGED SO DEEP INSIDE
I REMEMBER THE FIRES THAT FATE HAD FAILED TO ELIDE
NOW I AM FROZEN FEARING INFINITY
AND I’M ONLY CERTAIN OF THIS UNCERTAINTY
LOST IN THIS LANDSLIDE OF MY OWN DESIGN
I WATCHED ALL OUR DREAMS DIE UPON THE VINE
