A Symphonic Tragedy
Dianne Van Giersbergen
Hushed is the realm where in repose I lay
A slumber that dances between night and day
Here where our dreams prolong, we've come to rest
Will you abide or is this goodbye?
A symphonic tragedy rains down on me, on the abyss of life
Don’t let go but embrace the climb
Without you our end is nigh
Gowned and enshrouded in silence I lay
While soft hands dance on my body’s display
When I awake, with wounds adorned, will you embrace me or leave me scorned?
Through gales wild and trials fierce we've roamed unforgiving years as one (defying the storm)
Heal me, reveal me to bathe in the first light of dawn
A symphonic tragedy rains down on me, on the abyss of life
Don’t let go but embrace the climb
Without you our end is nigh
Take the leap and descend to unknown, barren lands
Go forward, tread onwards, outrun the calling curse
Dismantle yesteryears, leave the crown, face the tears
A vessel eroded, blood and bone, earth and stone
Who am I but a soul in the shadow domain?
Washed and reborn, my past life forlorn, afraid of what awaits
Abandon the night and arise to a day without end (where dreams ascend)
My dear kindred soul, breathe the light and resound, my dear voice
A symphonic tragedy rains down on me, on the abyss of life
Don’t let go but embrace the climb
Would you wither and die, so would I
Without you our end is nigh
