Agathodaimon - Past Shadows lyrics
[Agathodaimon - Past Shadows lyrics]
Now far I am from you, before my fire alone
And read again the hours that
So silently have gone
When it seems that eighty years
Beneath my feet did glide
That I am old as winter
That maybe you have died
The shadows of the past swift
Stream across life's floor
The tale of all times
Nothings that now exist no more
While the wind with clumsy fingers
Softly trumpets at the blind
And sadly spins the fiber of
The story in my mind
I see you stand before me in
A mist that does not fall
Your eyes are full of tears
And your fingers long and cold
About my neck caressing your
Arms you gently ply
And it seems you want to speak
To me yet only sigh
And thus I clasp entranced my all
My world of grace
And both our lives are joined
In that supreme embrace oh, let the voice of
Memory remain forever dumb
Forget the joy that was
But that nevermore will come
The shadows of the past swift
Stream across life's floor
The tale of all times
Nothings that now exist no more
While the wind with clumsy fingers
Softly trumpets at the blind
And sadly spins the fiber of
The story in my mind
And thus I clasp entranced my all
My world of grace
And both our lives are joined
In that supreme embrace
Forget how after an instant you
Thrust my arms aside
For now I’m old and lonely
And maybe you have died
And read again the hours that
So silently have gone
When it seems that eighty years
Beneath my feet did glide
That I am old as winter
That maybe you have died
The shadows of the past swift
Stream across life's floor
The tale of all times
Nothings that now exist no more
While the wind with clumsy fingers
Softly trumpets at the blind
And sadly spins the fiber of
The story in my mind
I see you stand before me in
A mist that does not fall
Your eyes are full of tears
And your fingers long and cold
About my neck caressing your
Arms you gently ply
And it seems you want to speak
To me yet only sigh
And thus I clasp entranced my all
My world of grace
And both our lives are joined
In that supreme embrace oh, let the voice of
Memory remain forever dumb
Forget the joy that was
But that nevermore will come
The shadows of the past swift
Stream across life's floor
The tale of all times
Nothings that now exist no more
While the wind with clumsy fingers
Softly trumpets at the blind
And sadly spins the fiber of
The story in my mind
And thus I clasp entranced my all
My world of grace
And both our lives are joined
In that supreme embrace
Forget how after an instant you
Thrust my arms aside
For now I’m old and lonely
And maybe you have died
