A Room Next Door Lyrics - Skyclad

I stare at fading visions now much fainter than before 

Of the faces gathered round me and the clock upon my wall 

My loved-ones stand in mourning but the china timepiece laughs 

As it counts away the seconds (it knows all things must pass...) 

From darkness into light 

Still in my mind but out of sight. 

No longer held by space and time 

I cross the fine dividing line... 

That separates the dear departed from their final breath 

The moment when my weary soul is born again in death 

No longer flesh my carnal cage can keep me here no more 

I leave my cell of shadows for a brighter room next door.

I fracture the shell of this solitary hell 

Embrace the unknown as my friend 

Mortal barriers falling (the white light is calling) 

This wheel of life spins without end. 

So up from the ashes a pheonix I rise 

On a cord of fine silver my tired spirit flies 

To a 'quickening' foetus (the new infant cries) 

A bright spark ignites with each old flame that dies. 

The cycle continues - incarnate once more 

I embark on a journey I've travelled before.

I separate the dear departed from their final breath, 

The moment when your weary soul is born again in death 

No longer flesh your carnal cage can keep you here no more 

You leave your cell of shadows for a brighter room next door.
