April Ethereal

April Ethereal Lyrics

It was me, Peering through the looking-glass
Beyond the embrace of Christ
Like the secret face within the tapestry
Like a bird of prey over the crest
And she was swathed in sorrow, As if born within its mask
Her candlelight snuffed, The icon smiled
Emptiness followed by her wake
I could clasp her in undying love
Within ghostlike rapture the final word was mine
She faced me in awe, 'Twas a token of ebony colour
Embodied in faint vapour
Wandering through April's fire
Compelled to grasp and to hold the one that was you
I will endure, Hide away
I would outrun the scythe, Glaring with failure
It is a mere destiny I thought, A threshold I had crossed before
The rain was waving goodbye, And when the night came
the forest folded its branches around me
Something passed by, And I went into a dream
She laughing and weeping at once: take me away
I don't know how or why, I'll never know When
