And now, where's all that gone?
Who stoled my unperturbed Eden from me?
Now dark seagulls gather in the skies
Like ominous thoughts
And ravenous hawks
Pierce my heart
Exquisite torture
Neverending torture
As I watch, my soul like a gaping mouth,
At the ruins
The fading, battered, poor remains
Of what was once a perfect prism
Unviolated kingdom of blue.
Who turned eternal youth, eternal gold
Into grey mist, nondescript matter,
Inexplicable moonstones
The sense of which
Is a mystery unto itself
Forever locked away from me?
And the key is gone
To the harsh infinite corners
Of reality
So unevenly cut
So strangely shaped
Like sand in my mouth
My tongue has sand all over it
Never swallow, never swallow
Like an acrobat

ALTERNATIVE MIX
Remixed by Mortifer, December MMXVII.
This is an homemade remix in order to let this track sounds as it was meant to originally sound, with more huge and discernible guitars, acoustic and not triggered drums, and an overall rougher but thicker sound.
