Drawn To Black Lyrics - Insomnium

Wreathed in silence, laid down in shades 

Swathed in regrets, deluded astray 

Forgotten in half-light, drawn in despair 

Soothed in slumber so dreadful and fair 

Rending and searing and twisting my dreams 

Alone in the gloom with the nightmares unseen 

The night has a thousand eyes, 

And the day but one; 

Yet the light of the bright world dies 

With the dying sun 

The mind has a thousand eyes, 

And the heart but one: 

Yet the light of a whole life dies 

When love is done 

Worthless the pledges, all vows but lies 

Fateful her kisses, where a serpent hides 

First beckoned to step from the twilight to glare 

Then left in the dark for the demons to share 

Only the stars see, only the moon hears... 

And quietly the water-lilies sigh 

Like the last breath of a weary soul 

And the weed sway in the dreary waters 

Like a girl's dark hair they wave about 

And the black stones under my bare feet 

Cold and smooth like her milk-white palm 

And the silence which falls upon this shore 

Resounds now louder than oncoming storm 

For all is gone
