Love's Heavy Burden Lyrics - Singles - Darkseed

Music: Hertrich/Winkler 

Lyrics: Hertrich 

Under love's heavy burden do I sink 

Can I go forward when my heart is here ? 

I cannot be here, here and there, 

there and here for You and I 

are past our dancing days 

I like the lightning 

which does cease to be 

ere one can say "I see" 

Beauty too rich for use, 

for earth too dear 

Did my heart love 'till now ? 

I forswear ! 

Regions near me seemed all alone 

My mutual cry she never heard again 

Now sadness is beloved, and love we gain 

Alike bewitched by charm of looks 

Night sable Goddess, 

from Your ebon throne 

Every eye is fixed on You alone 

I thank You, Moon, for showing me the way 

Trip away, make me stay, meet me all 

by break of day 

You made mine eyes and merry tears 

O grim-looked night, the way you fear ! 

Full many flowers born to blush unseen 

And waste their sweetness now, 

share their last gleam 

Trip away, make me stay, 

meet me all by break of day ! 

Heaven/hell, shadow-dancer 

heatened blood makes holy hands unclean 

Mine eyes look sad, 

the grim-looked night away 

stare around the sphere 

to blush unseen - Your tears 

When You turn away 

Leave me out of the end 

Turn Your insane out 

Leave me, if You will 

Away from light steals forth my soul 

I want give cure as know 

But love's a smoke with fume of sighs 

So swallow down and rise, autumn rise !
