In Tears Bereaved Lyrics - Skydancer - Dark Tranquility

----------------- 

(Lyrics: Sundin) 

Beautiful, oh web of stars 

that looms amid the sons of Earth 

Enfolds me in thine sylvan arms 

that unity's vehement charms 

befalls a weary son of Earth 

Beautiful, in tears bereaved 

in sylphlike sadness, left to bleed 

Bewailed upon a bed of thorns, 

impaled, a heart, on sorrow's horns 

A seeker's ode to thee I read 

My tearful soul thy mourning heed 

The stream that leaves thine open wounds; 

A life-blood licked by hungry hounds 

No verdant balm to soothe our wounds 

Wherefore betwixt two worlds I'm torn 

Ere thralled by sin I'll die - forlorn 

This slumbering world of shallow fools 

may one day clasp the cosmic Hell 

lest journeymen by Earthen rules 

bring forth the truth for which Angels fell 

To the earth and sky and sea 

I call that thou may answer me; 

Father of Nature, of beast and mankind, 

my soul for thy love, my tears for thy pain 

...An Eden in fire, 

what lives shan't remain 

For when I live under a different sky, 

beneath the ethereal hills the clouds passing by 

Remember the time of which I cried to be part 

Remember these words, for they have flown 

from my heart.
