lyrics

I drank of your font, sweet oil of vitriol
Danced on light feet in your sunshine
Intoxicated by your fragrance
Oh life! I exalted in your light

But now your golden rays reach me not
In lustreless forests I falter
Bleeding and weary with every step I take
Can you hear the clatter of the gyves?

Wounds soaked in bitterness strike through upon the coverlet
No salve to ease the sting where the rapier rushed in

Idle hands reach for the rope’s caress
Restless eyes look to the bough

Back broken, legs fettered, arms open wide
From tenebrosity I limp towards the light
Will the candle burn for me, will the sun still rise?
Can the hand of grace still lift the darkness from these eyes?

‘Behold thineself,’ whispered the mage
As I knelt by the water’s edge
‘Whose ghostly visage is illuminated here?
Whose are these cold and distant eyes?’

Hemp and holly bind the limbs
And hessian lets through a crimson stain upon the floor
Where footsteps fall no more

Who will listen for my penance to be read?
Who will weep for me when the last drop is shed?

Back broken, legs fettered, arms open wide
From tenebrosity I limp towards the light
Will the candle burn for me, will the sun still rise?
Can the hand of grace still lift the darkness from these eyes?

Then in the black wold, a candle burns low
From uncertainty I crawl towards your glow
Where pain is not my mistress, nor agony my throne
Shall I see your face again, or walk the dark alone?
