Lyrics:
With the earth and sky, a new dawn arose
The marriage completed between dark and light
Dumbstruck, we stood in the radiant glow
While you stood undaunted, surrounded with the hue of night
Behind you the sun, shining in a hulking bow
Battling the dusk and its wicked guile
A magnificent painting, no wasted strokes
Each bout of love brings a new, unsung dye
A paradigm as a piece of art
A fresco of marrow, from bright white to dark
A sculpture, chiseling a tree with its bark
Its roots sprouting into my heart
This guilt, this grief, these thoughts
I will carry for the rest of my life
This light, this colour that you brought
Forever in my dreams they will survive
The wood got brittle, the paint got pale
The gnawing vermin now sluggish and fat
The beauty and gloom drain my vigor away
Humiliate me, chain me to a sullen bed
Some kind of regret, clear yet faint
A wistful refrain stuck in my head
Something foreign, less tangible remains
Bereavement's precocious match
An iconic image in my mind
Emerging with the dust of time
Bares the error of my ways
Reassembling all the bits
Moulding forms as I see fit
And still, I see your face
This guilt, this grief, these thoughts
I will carry for the rest of my life
These myths, these melodies you brought
Forever in my dreams they'll intertwine
Until we reunite
Until we reconcile
