From The Underworld Lyrics - Singles - Herd

out of the land of shadows and 

darkness, we were returning 

Towards the morning light 

Almost in reach of places I knew 

Escaping the ghosts of Yesterday 

You were behind me following 

closely 

"Don't turn around now" 

I heard you whisper in my ear 

"If you should turn now, 

All that you won 

Will vanish just like a passing dream. 

Just on the very verge of the 

morning, daylight was dawning, 

freedom was but a step away 

Now with the deep dark river 

behind us, 

what could go wrong if I stayed 

strong in mind. 

What was the sudden lapse into 

madness, what was the urge that 

turned my head around to look at you? 

What was the stubborn will 

to destroy the love and the joy 

I nearly held? 

three times the thunder roared 

in my ears 

In all of my years I'll see that lost 

look in your eyes. 

As, with a sigh like smoke in the wind 

You slipped from my grasp into 

the waiting shadows 

so much I longed to say, 

but my touch found only the 

empty air and a black nights 

coldness. 

lnto another world you entered 

And never again I can reclaim you
