Dona Nobis Pacem |
| Rising from the lake of fire the white swan wings shall burn |
| Soaring up they take you higher it breaks your smile with every turn |
| Stretched out into cold horizons are memories of the serpent shore |
| A silent taste of cursed desires, afraid, but still you long for more |
| Defeat, oh horrid vision, leave my mind! |
| Set me free from the cage of my memories and of my dreams |
| Open doors to oblivion where sanctified slumber awaits |
| Be the dreams of ephemeral stature to leave me in time |
| Leave my private own darkness behind as I pass through the gates |
| Made restless by conscience I crave for relief |
| but I’m wedding my eyes to the hand of a thief |
| Will my terror at least take my mind off the feast |
| and caution me to not fall asleep? |
| Did I burn all my oil in the eve and my slumber |
| so the groom shall pass me left forever to hunger |
| Still to kindle the fire I’ll start and awake |
| and beg and plead for my burning soul’s sake |
| Dona nobis pacem |
| Father, I see the clouds march up to cover the evening sky |
| and the stars are but dim lights in abysmal distance, |
| Apprehension of the moonlit enigma — of time in reversal, |
| suffering eternal, judgement a-coming, |
| deliver me from this terminal dusk unto the dawn of everlasting light |
| Damnation beyond the realms of earthly fire, impotent to withdraw, eternal death |
| Fear not my child, I shall take your hand |
| If you follow me to the promised land |
| you shall never fear again |
| Defeat, itself defeated, fled my mind |
| Set me free from the cage of my memories and of my dreams |
| Open doors to oblivion where sanctified slumber awaits |
| Be the dreams of ephemeral stature to leave me in time |
| Leave my private own darkness behind as I pass the gates |
