Nightingale Lyrics - Insidious - Mephisto Walz

Away, away, for I will fly to thee 

When my heart aches and drowsy numbness pains 

My sense as though of hemlock drunk 

Or empty some opiate to the drain 

One minutes passed and leftward sunk 

Away, away, for I will fly to thee 

Safer from heaven is with reasons blown 

Fade far away, dissolve and quite forget 

What among the leaves have never known 

The weariness, the fever and the fret 

Where old men sit and hear each other groan 

To seize upon the midnight with no pain 

And leaden eyes despair 

Away, away, for I will fly to thee 

Safer from heaven is with reasons blown 

Away, away, for I will fly to thee 

In virtuous rooms and winding ways 

I cannot see the flowers at my feet 

Fading violets covered up in leaves 

Ive been half in love with easeful death 

Called him soft names in musing rhymes 

To take into the air my quiet breath 

Now more than ever seems it rich to die 

Away, away, for I will fly to thee 

Safer from heaven is with reasons blown 

Away, away, for I will fly to thee 

In virtuous rooms and winding ways
