The Dream And The Waking Lyrics - Singles - Be'lakor

Silent but distant, 

Real but not seen 

Here but not happening, 

Forever has been 

Into this absence, 

Two had but strayed 

Retracing in circles, 

They surrendered, dismayed 

Behind them, darkness 

Ahead, the unknown 

So they stood, uninvited 

But the roots had grown 

An error, a tangent 

A curious mind 

An instant, a lifetime 

A secret to find 

The dream and the waking 

Occurring together 

Realising, then 

That it mattered not whether 

Imagined movements 

Near shimmering webs 

The nightfall descended 

To rest by their heads 

Their feet planted firmly 

Neath four darting eyes 

With pupils dilated, 

They counted the sighs 

Their legs fading into 

A curdling moss 

Their lungs slowly filling 

With decades of loss 

That scent from the forest, 

Not taking, not giving 

They knew only this - 

Not buried, not living 

Their stagnating veins 

Now hidden from view 

In skin for the willow 

And bone for the dew 

The dream and the waking 

Ending together 

Understanding then 

It had not mattered, ever
