WITHERED BEAUTY LYRICS

1. Lies

[Björklund]

The clouded sun has darkened
From the mist his mind has risen
He is imprisoned
Distant cries from all around
In his time of despair
Shadows are everywhere
Hope has faded from life
For the last time the sky is dark
On closing walls he left his mark
"Leave me to myself
No one can help me,
no one but me!"
"Murderer! Admit your crime and life can be spared
Murderer! This may be your final chance!"
But those words were left unsaid
A broken neck to see him dead
Soon his life will come to tan end
No angels will come from heaven sent
And the sun will rise
And bury all of his lies
People have gathered to see him die
The crowd screaming questions, why?
Soon his life will come to an end
No angels will come from heaven sent
And the sun will rise
And bury all of his lies
"Murderer! Confess and your life can be yours (again)
Murderer! Confess, or else you will hang!"
("No! I have no regrets, I have no remorse. No, I will
Not cry, I leave myself to die!")
("So, by your own decision we hereby sentence you to
eternity. May your name fall into oblivion!")
And by the raise of a hand he was silenced
Never again, never again
He was left there hanging as they went away
They left him for the vultures as prey
Now his life has come to an end
No angel came from heaven send
But the sun will rise
And bury all of his lies
I cry for you my son lost for me
Far from heaven you will be
I shall bury all your lies
All your lies...
Lies...

2. Broken

[Bryntse]

Anguish, pain, wrath
Misery, disease, hate
Suddenly, I was not myself
A creature not me
Suddenly, my sanity was gone
Not knowing myself
In the mist I'm eternally lost in my dreams
Ruled by another conscious of my own
No one hears the echoes of my eternal screams
Alone, but not, inside myself I moan
I am blind to feelings
Yet, feelings tear me apart
Inside myself I die
But no one can tell me why
Suddenly, I was not myself
A creature not me
Suddenly, my sanity was gone
Not knowing myself
Memories of another life that won't die
Inflicting me with a wish of death
I can not raise my hand in anger
My subconscious leading my way

3. Veil Of Nothing

[Bryntse, Björklund]

Darkness
All that is before my eyes
Nothing
Lives inside my eyes
Visions
Of what could be out there
Questions
Eager to know, yearning for sight
Lifeless
Eyes that can not see
Unseen
Images of what could be
Strange
Illusions often cross my mind
Searching
Answers hidden far behind
In my eyes, the landscape dies, never ever exist
What is sight, what is light, how could I know
Blind since birth, condemned by earth, left in cold
alone
See with hands, but never lands, life can be so bad

4. The Worm

[Crister Olsson]

Crawling below, striving forever
The sky with its shine or blackness
It will be mine, yes, I will reach it
As I'm heading for the sky in my dreams
My journey brings me deeper, deeper
Only my will to crawl keeps me alive
Pointless existence, guided by instincts
Feeding others with myself
If I had wings, the wind would take me there
If I had a mind, my dreams would be destroyed
I travelled far away
I will never stop

5. Through Silent Skies

[Björk]

6. Twilight Dreaming

[Björklund]

Sleep now my love, my sweetheart you are
Hide the pearls of your eyes away from me far
All is so silent as in the grave this now is
Sleep, and each tear be gone by a kiss
Still my love, the golden time this now is
Then, well, the dawn is never like this
And when your worries are there in your head
Then you won't so easy slumber in bed
Sleep now my love and if you hear
Know that your love always be near
If late or early I'll watch you
And hope that you would do that too
Now she's asleep, as a baby she lies
Dreaming of wisdom, horror she cries
I lie here holding on so tight
Caressing, relieving her from all her fright
Twilight dreaming
Sleep now my love, all problems you'll hide
Slumber, into the dreams you'll glide
Pictures appear, unclear though it seems
Now is silence, you've entered the dream

7. Dying Alone

[Bryntse]

I fall
The golden walls surround me no more
Though I laugh
I know this ain't no fun at all
Into the maze of pain
My soul is cast, to be raped
Screams
Torment my ears, my fate is here
The dawn no more place
The place of disgrace
Eternal dusk, my eyes are none
Through darkness I stare
My dreams are here...not
Ridden by dark lord
The mare haunts my mind
Dimension of despair
The edge of death
My hands grips - none
The fight is ended
As I'm dying alone

8. Failure

[M. Björk, A. Björk, Bryntse]

A piece of my mind wander away
A sudden movement by a cloud
Darkened the sky above
Only a light shines through me
And takes me far beyond my failure
I vanish in my endless hall
Dimensions pass me as I fall
A cry for help is growing strong
And leads to nothings greatest lounge
Futile my life
Futile my death
I am myself
I am my failure
Deep down below echoes the tide
And drowns the feelings kept inside
The power haunts me like a ghost
Leads me to places I fear most
Inward withering in my soul
I can not control it anymore

9. Joust

[Björklund]

Fighting for your life
I want to see you die
For your defeat I strife
You can not from me hide
My strenght is fading
I can not give up now
Fatal strike I'm needing
In my blood I drown
Drifting, floating, flying away
By a wind I'm spread astray
Now will I leave and wait
I died from your hate
Drifting, floating, flying away
By a wind I'm spread astray

10. He Who Comes With The Dawn

[Björklund]

Fleeing away from the dawn into the night
Don't want to be the reborn, away from all night
Prophecies will be fulfilled or will he be stilled?
He who comes with the dawn to save us all?
Fleeing away from the dawn into the west
Away from the dragon reborn (from) those who know best
Prophecies will be fulfilled or will he be stilled?
He who comes with the dawn destroy us all?
Lay down and rest
And sleep forevermore
The dragons nest
Into the nevermore
Prophecies will be fulfilled or will he be stilled?
He who comes with the dawn to save us all?
Feeling his power with wrath, feel as it grows
Leading Aiel to their death, as they all know
Prophecies will be fulfilled or will he be stilled?
He who comes with the dawn destroy us all?
Lay down and rest
And sleep forevermore
The dragons nest
Into the nevermore
