And The Mirror Cracked Lyrics - Back To Times Of Splendor - Disillusion

It came from dismal shadows 

Creeping, sudden, from behind. 

fell upon my merry whistle 

darkened me at heart and sight. 

Back with me, one again with the memory 

Again I behold the ruins 

that I left when I was all devoured by wrath. 

Last night out in the timber 

a thousand torrent's vehemence 

came rushing through my veins 

Up my throat and filled the eyes, 

And then that I knew 

all pain will be undone 

When I pack my bags 

And depart for lonely roads 

And with courageous verve I stride 

chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering 

How come you never bleed 

When I stab right into your back. 

How come you never choke 

When I drown you in the sea. 

Merely hours passed 

that I had left him to his mountains 

his colossal idols - one for every spear in me. 

Slopes so steep, 

I could not conquer in a lifetime. 

Now they're all but ruins, 

Ruins I left behind. 

And with courageous verve I stride 

chop the heads off plants aside, still wondering 

How come you never bleed 

When I stab right into your back. 

How come you never choke 

When I drown you in the hot and burning sea. 

There is always one waiting for me, my beloved 

I shall be with her again so soon. 

craving for her lips, her kiss 

Her hair in summer winds 

The morning dew dripping down her breasts. 

Shadows and Flames. 

I have been demure 

Cries were silent but heart ablaze. 

have been one of his shadows 

Condemned to stray an unlit maze. 

My feet are numb, soles torn wide open 

After endless years of clambering 

My path is lit and leads me north. 

And with courageous verve I stride 

chop the heads off flowers aside, still wondering 

How come you never bleed 

When I stab right into your back, 

How come you never choke 

When I drown you in the hot and burning sea?
