April Ethereal |
| 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 |
| 'Twas 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 |
