Shroud Of Frost Lyrics - The Silent Enigma - Anathema

Undying odyssey 

A myriad of times 

The soul has seen 

Through eyes of heaven 

The Imperium of earth 

Nothing left to perceive 

Help me to escape from this existence 

I yearn for an answer 

Can you help me? 

I¹m drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams 

In somnolent illusion 

I'm paralysed 

Infinity distraction 

A pious human disorder 

Blind to passage of souls 

Conclusion from one remembrance 

Help me to escape 

Transfixed 

I gaze through my window at a world lying under a shroud of frost 

In a forlorn stupor I feel the burning of staring eyes, 

Yet no-one is here. Detached from reality, 

In the knowing of dreams, 

We know the entity of ensuing agony waits to clasp us in its cold 

Breast, in an empty room 

We awake and it's true 

I dreamed of the sun's demise, awoke to a bleak morning 

In the emptiness I beheld face for the dead light is a foretelling of 

What will be 

I saw a soul drift from life, through death, 

And arrive at Elysian fields in welcoming song 

Yet I stand in a dusk-filled room despondently watching the passing of a kindred spirit and there is no song 

Just a delusion of silence
