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
