The Last Aurora - "Phantom.Devotion.Memory" |
Graceful perfection, sea breeze air/Silent kisses, stars keep smiles/But wait, the innocence of the moment-gone/Back to your corner we go/So gentle intense like the deep mystery/Hold close, remember it all/Keep your mind clear and heart open/Cause each drop that fills that ocean is a tear I've cried reaching out for you/Now I'm standing here/Within all the sorrow/Wish there were another/Life I could borrow/You left me boundaries of pain/Capacious as the sea/Between eternity and time/Your consciousness and mine/My phantom lover/Lost in my memory/Untold devotion/Bittersweet emotion/They will tell my tale/Of reaching out for you/The seven seas I will sail/For one forlorn sight of you/The days passes so slow/One thousand years since you were gone/Each day without you, torture for me/I’m cursed to never die with you/Why did you die/So I can gain immortality/I’d rather die/Than face all the sorrows of the age alone/It was mine to give, my heart/And it burned one thousand years ago on your funeral pyre/The sea gave birth to you/It took you back/one lifetime of love we had/Then an eternity of sorrow/And much more to come/My love, save me!/Ours is the love that endures all ages/Through the rise and falls of human empires/What would mankind say of my undying devotion?/To the phantom of my memory/Chorus/Why do I love you/With all my heart?/Why did I fall for you/From the start?/Why do you cause me/So much pain?/Why do you stick to my heart/Like a stain?/Why couldn't I see/You weren't gonna stay?/Why did I believe/You were gonna take the pain away?/One moment listen to my grief and take/The softest vows that love can ever make/For thee, all thoughts of pleasure I forgo/For Thee, my tears shall never cease to flow/For thee at once I from the world retire/To feed in silent shades a hopeless fire/My bosom all thy image shall retain/The full impression there shall still remain/As thou has taught my tender heart to prove/The noblest height and elegance of love/That sacred passion I to thee confine /My spotless faith shall be for ever thine/Chorus |
